The suspect in a string of fatal shootings at Atlanta-area massage parlors was indicted Tuesday on domestic terror and murder charges, and prosecutors signaled they will also seek hate crime charges – something advocates have been pushing since the March slayings rattled the Asian-American community.
Robert Aaron Long was officially indicted by a Fulton County grand jury in the fatal shootings of four people killed at two spas in Atlanta: Suncha Kim, 69; Soon Chung Park, 74; Hyun Jung Grant, 51; and Yong Ae Yue, 63. The indictment does not cover the four others who were killed at another massage parlor in Cherokee County.
The indictment charges Long with one count of domestic terrorism, four counts of murder, four counts of felony murder, five counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and four counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
