Don't worry, even if it was, it won't be treated as such.

RIP. These days, security cameras are everywhere. I expect cops will be requisitioning imagery from local store owners to see if they can stitch together a sequence of photos that may show identifiable aspects of the perp, such as clothing or facial features or tie the perp to a vehicle. Here’s to hoping they succeed.

At least, no one has claimed it was a "hate crime." /S

“Hate crime!”

Not long ago when black men were put to death on the street by vigilantes they called it lynching.
