Texas A&M Corpus Christi African American Student Finds Apartment Defaced And Threats Of Lynching
The unidentified black woman returned from spring break to find slurs and threats written all around her apartment.
The African American female found threatening racial slurs written all over her apartment.
Corpus Christi Police Chief Floyd Simpson called a sudden news conference Monday to discuss the findings.
He made it very clear that part of the reason for calling the news conference is the number of similar cases involving racism happening across the country right now, including several at other college campuses.
Simpson hoped to bring this case to the public as a way of talking about it and also finding those responsible.
Photos from inside the apartment show an image of a person being hanged and reads "White Power. We're coming for you".
Another says, "Die (n-word). Where is your protector? White Power".
Several of the messages also include misspelled words or bad grammar, not the type of writing expected from a college student.
"I think the community ought to be hurt by this. I think that we all ought to take it very seriously," said Simpson.
The Islander Village complex on Alameda is gated and appears to have security cameras, but the student who found the messages left town for Spring Break, so it's unclear exactly when the break-in happened.
