Hate letter left on car in A Lot parking area
Eds. Note: the spelling of ‘San-N*gger’ appears as written in the police report.
On Aug. 22, a UNMPD officer was dispatched to the Student Residence Center regarding a “hate crime.” According to the police report, the victim, who parked his car in a handicapped parking space in the A Lot, received a handwritten note from someone stating he needs to “quit using his ‘grandmother’s’ parking pass.”
According to the report, the writer of the note also “hinted that his tires might keep their air if he complied.”
According to the report, the victim allegedly was involved in another “hate crime” in April when somebody had written the word “San-N*gger” on the door to his dorm room. The officer advised him to leave subsequent notes untouched so police could obtain evidence. The case is closed pending further leads.

The victim is allegedly “having a hard time with work as he feels uncomfortable going to class.” The case is closed pending further leads.
