+On April 18, 2017, Kori Ali Muhammad fatally shot three White men in Fresno, California, following an earlier killing of a White security guard. Muhammad told police that he intended to “kill as many White males as possible” and targeted his victims specifically because of their race.{{footnote}}2017 Fresno shootings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Fresno_shootings{{/footnote}} |

+He also shouted "Allahu Akbar" upon arrest. Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer stated during a press conference that Muhammad explained he was upset at White people, whom he blamed for the oppression of Black people.{{footnote}}“He wanted to kill as many white males as possible.” The Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/apr/19/fresno-shooting-hate-crime-kori-ali-muhammad{{/footnote}} |

+Muhammad was ultimately charged with four murders and sentenced to life without parole. A single state-level hate crime charge was filed, but no federal charges were brought, and the event was not treated as terrorism by the FBI or DOJ. |

+Fresno police made a point to declare that Muhammad was "not a terrorist" but rather a "racist filled with hate."{{footnote}}2017 Fresno shootings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Fresno_shootings{{/footnote}} This choice of framing illustrates how racial motive is treated differently depending on the racial identity of the victims and perpetrator. |
