Police in St. Louis have denied that a brutal hammer attack on a Bosnian man was racially motivated, with some suggesting the incident could be linked to the protests in Ferguson.
32-year-old Zemir Begic was driving in the early hours of Sunday morning when his car was approached by a gang of juveniles who began damaging the vehicle. When Begic exited the car to confront the teens, he was viciously assaulted with hammers, suffering injuries to the head, abdomen, face and mouth. Begic was taken to St. Louis University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
Around 50 Bosnians gathered on Gravois Avenue at Itaska Street on Sunday night to protest the violent attack, prompting St. Louis police Chief Sam Dotson to reassure them that the incident was not racially motivated.
“There is no indication that the gentleman last night was targeted because he was Bosnian,” Dotson said. “There’s no indication that they knew each other.”
Police have refused to comment on the ethnicity of two suspects caught soon after the attack, but two other suspects who are being sought are a 16-year-old black male and a 15-year-old Hispanic.
