Two men are accused of a racially motivated assault in Vancouver’s Rose Village Sunday in which one of the suspects allegedly attempted to shoot the victim but beat him with the gun when the weapon wouldn’t fire.
Zachery L. Hotchkins, 22, and Robert E. Mitchell IV, 18, both of Vancouver, appeared today in Clark County Superior Court on suspicion of first-degree assault. Hotchkins also was held on suspicion of malicious harassment, which is a hate crime.
“The victim was called a ‘cracker’ multiple times during the assault,” said Deputy Prosecutor Dan Gasperino.
That’s a racial slur referring to a white person.
During the attack, Boorujay was repeatedly called the racial slur, according to court records.
