The Hollywood actress expressed disappointment over the incident to her 102.4million followers on Thursday morning via her verified Twitter handle.

The police revealed that the prime suspect “is extremely likely” responsible for the three deadly shootings at massage parlours in the metro Atlanta area, the ‘Umbrella’ singer demanded an end to anti-Asian hate.

She wrote, “What happened yesterday in Atlanta was brutal, tragic & is certainly not an isolated incident by any means.

“AAPI hate has been rampantly perpetuated & it’s disgusting! I’m heartbroken for the Asian community & my heart is with the loved ones of those we lost. The hate must stop.”

Meanwhile, police stated that a 21-year-old man suspect in connection to the shootings was taken into custody in southwest Georgia hours later after a manhunt.
