    You say that that witnesses claimed that the black guy was only after Caucasians, now…how would they know that? If they claimed, ‘at the 7-11, all the people he shot were white’ that can be used as evidence, but if they claimed ‘he wanted to kill Caucasians only’ that’s opinion. You must consider various factors, you have to ask yourself were there any non-Caucasians at the scene of the crime and if so how many out of the total number of people where the shots took place? If it so happened that he shot people in Detriot for example and they all were Caucasian, then it’s most likely there’s racial bias involved in his motives. Or maybe if he killed 50 people and 49 or so were Caucasians then it’s also likely racial bias was involved as well. Perhaps the case you are referring to lacked evidence which could tie him with racial motives, for example, there was that guy in Indiana who shot only non-Caucasians, the fact that the guy had ties with some White Pride group and was heard by witnesses using derogatory terms helped classify the case as a hate crime.
