SMU police investigate possible hate crime

SMU Police are investigating a possible hate crime against a student, the Dallas Morning News reported.

The student, who is of Asian descent, told SMU Police that four or five men sprayed him with water guns, threw a rock at him and called him a racial slur while he was walking through an on-campus parking lot.

The men, who were in a black SUV, have not yet been identified.

Executive Director of News and Communications Kent Best said in a statement, “SMU Police are actively investigating and encourage anyone with information about this reported incident to notify the Police Department.”
