Investigators are looking to allegations that Andrew Walls, 26, is connected to the Proud Boys in the Akron-Canton area, and the FBI could charge him with federal hate crimes.
Some have alleged Walls served as the vice president of the Akron-Canton chapter of the Proud Boys, which is labeled by the Cleveland Anti-Defamation League as a right-wing extremist group.
The victim, Cameron Morgan, shared with police she heard racial slurs, including the N-word, were being yelled and told the accused to “stop saying that.”Others tackled Walls after the punch was swung and Morgan told police she tried to break up that fight.The victim suffered a split lip and bruising and sought medical attention before Akron police arrived.
Akron police said more charges are pending for an additional assault on a woman, who is not a minority, in that same incident. The information has been turned over to the F.B.I. as Walls may be facing federal hate crime charges.The video on social media is how Walls was identified. “We will not leave any stone unturned to bring him to justice to the fullest extent possible,” said Akron Police Capt. David Laughlin.
