Police: SUV Deliberately Targets Migrant Workers, Injuring 6

18:36 31.07.2023

In a shocking incident on Sunday afternoon, a driver intentionally rammed his SUV into a group of migrant workers outside a Walmart in Lincolnton, North Carolina, leaving all six of them injured. The victims, who were in the area seeking work opportunities, were immediately rushed to a nearby hospital with various injuries, but thankfully none of them were life-threatening.

The suspect responsible for this "intentional assault with a vehicle" is still at large and remains unidentified. According to authorities, the assailant, described as an older white male, fled the scene after deliberately plowing into the migrants. The police department has released images of the vehicle involved, which appeared to be an older model of a mid-sized SUV with a luggage rack.

The motives behind the attack are currently under investigation, leaving the community on edge and desperate for answers. The city of Lincolnton, located approximately 40 miles from Charlotte, was left in shock following this violent hit-and-run incident. Residents are now grappling with the fear that their community is being targeted in hate crimes.

The police department is working tirelessly to gather more information and apprehend the suspect. Unfortunately, at this time, further details about the incident have not been made available. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in the investigation.

The incident in Lincolnton serves as a grim reminder of a similar tragedy that occurred in Brownsville, Texas, where a driver in a Range Rover deliberately plowed into a crowd of migrants, resulting in the death of eight individuals. That driver now faces charges of manslaughter and other offenses. The Lincolnton community is now grappling with the fear that they are facing a similar pattern of violence.

The Lincolnton Police Department has called on the public for assistance in identifying both the vehicle and the driver involved in this horrific incident. With the release of the surveillance footage, they hope that any potential witnesses or individuals with information will come forward to aid in their investigation. The safety and well-being of the community, especially its vulnerable migrant population, remain a top priority for law enforcement.

As the investigation continues, the community of Lincolnton stands united in condemning this act of violence and remains hopeful that justice will be served. Local organizations and community leaders have come together to offer support to the victims and their families, ensuring they receive the necessary medical care and legal assistance.

The incident has sparked conversations about the need for greater protection and support for migrant workers in Lincolnton and across the country. Advocacy groups are calling for increased awareness about the contributions of migrants to the local economy and the importance of fostering a welcoming and inclusive community.

In the face of this tragedy, Lincolnton residents are determined to stand strong and united against hate. They are sending a clear message that acts of violence and discrimination will not be tolerated in their community. As they await further updates from law enforcement, they are holding onto hope that the perpetrator will be swiftly brought to justice, bringing a sense of closure and healing to the victims and their loved ones.
