The FBI they were tipped off by community members. No arrests have been made yet. They\’re offering up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest.
“That’s absolutely why we wanted to reach out to your viewers, we want any and all tips, any information that your viewers might have to determine whether or not this individual is in fact responsible or whether he may be responsible for other acts or working with others as well,” said Special Agent Michelle Lee, the media coordinator for the FBI.
The joint investigation between the FBI, Texas Rangers and San Antonio Police Department is worried that this visual act of hate, could turn into a violent act of hate “The hatred which inspires them to commit these acts, in some cases leads them to commit violent acts against human beings. So it is really important as a community that we make a statement that we will not tolerate these acts of hatred because they’re not going to go any further and result in injuries in individuals,” Lee says.
