“Some graffiti, which is racist graffiti, was left on his home. And from that we have a lot of concerns over the possibility that this is a hate targeted arson, a targeted arson attacked with hate-filled motives,” said William White, the director of CAIR-Houston, a civil rights organization. 

Roberson said in a separate incident two weeks later, he was nearly shot while in another home in the same neighborhood. Roberson said the bullet barely missed him. 

“The homeowner said in a recent interview that his window was shot out so very concerning signs that this is possibly a hate-filled motive behind this arson, and it’s left two people dead,” White said.
