The University Police Department has issued a crime alert detailing an incident involving three individuals who were threatened by two or three young white males Wednesday night in the parking lot of the Malco Theater on Jackson Avenue.
The three victims were walking to their vehicle when a large black truck occupied by the white males approached them, according to the statement. As the truck passed, one of the males pointed his finger and threatened the group using language that suggests the victims were targeted because of their race.
Sellers told the The Daily Mississippian Thursday evening that there is no further information available at this time.
The Oxford Police Department is investigating this incident with assistance from the University Police Department. If you have any information pertaining to this crime please contact OPD at 662-234-2400 or UPD at 662-915-7234.
