SEATTLE — Police are investigating the shooting of a Washington man late Friday as a possible hate crime.
According to police, a 39-year-old Sikh man was working on his car in his driveway in Kent, a suburb of Seattle, at about 8 p.m. Friday when another man approached him. An argument ensued, and the suspect told him to go back to his homeland, the victim said. The victim told police the man then shot him in the arm.
Male observant Sikhs often cover their heads with turbans, which are considered sacred, and refrain from shaving their beards. The faith comes from South Asia’s Punjab region.
The suspect is described as a 6-foot tall white man. He was wearing a mask covering the lower half of his face, the victim said.
"It is our belief and opinion, based upon the experience of my investigators, that our victim is absolutely credible and that this incident did occur as he has described," Kent Police Chief Ken Thomas said.
