I'm curious (not doubting you). Where did you find out the race of the victim? I'm a pretty good researcher, and I haven't been able to find that yet.
Do you have any info on the attackers?
The victim's son and daughter were on the on the news last night- both were black. Additionally, they showed a shot of the victim taken with the daughter's cell phone camera, and that showed he is black.
No real info on the attackers, except that there have been several arrests made. Apparently the ages of the attackers range between 16 and 23.
