Redmond police are investigating a hate crime after a Black carpenter found a noose with his name on it at a construction site. The discovery was made several days prior to the report at the site of the future Meta Reality lab.
Here is a statement on the case by the Redmond Police Department:
On Saturday, June 25, a 33-year-old black male carpenter came to the Redmond Police Department and described an event at his job site that occurred several days prior. During this event, a rope was tied like a noose and hung in a shared trailer used for tool and equipment storage on a job site of Facebook’s parent company Meta in the 10200 block of Willows Road. A piece of carpentry equipment was attached to the noose by a piece of tape with the victim’s name written on it. The male victim provided a photo of these items to Redmond police.
A detective was assigned to the case and it is being investigated as Harassment and a Hate Crime.
