Dallas Police Seek Public’s Help In Solving String of Brutal Anti-Gay Attacks
Last week we told you about a string of violent attacks targeting club-goers in Dallas’ gay entertainment district.
On Monday, police released descriptions of suspects in nine robberies and aggravated assaults that have occurred in September and October in the city’s Oak Lawn gayborhood.
Only one of the incidents has been classified as a hate crime, but the suspects appear to be preying on gay bar patrons walking alone at night.
From NBCDFW.com:
Two of the assaults were so severe, one man ended up in the hospital with a skull fracture after he was hit in the head with a baseball bat and another man landed in the hospital after the suspects stabbed him.
“It’s obvious these people are going in a particular neighborhood and targeting particular people in that neighborhood,” said Rafael McDonnell with the Resource Center for the LGBT community. …
“No one should think, just because we’ve got a suspect description out there, that it’s over. We need to continue to be vigilant until these people are caught, as well as after that.”
