SPRINGFIELD Mayor Domenic Sarno recalls surveying the still-smoldering ashes of the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Presbyterian Church on Dec. 28. He didn’t wonder about too many theories behind the apparent crime.
“I remember immediately thinking: This looks like a hate crime. Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck it’s a duck,” Sarno said on Thursday, hours after a federal hate crimes indictment against Dushko Vulchev was unsealed.
Sarno lauded state, local and federal authorities who investigated the case, which revealed Vulchev’s alleged long-standing hatred of Black people and other racial and ethnic groups.

SPRINGFIELD Investigators who scoured church arson suspect Dushko Vulchev’s cell phone, computer and social media messages in late December uncovered signs of deep racial animus toward Black people and other racial and ethnic groups, according to newly unsealed court records.
On Christmas Day, according to an FBI affidavit, he sent a message that included a racial slur in calling to “eliminate all” Black people. The message, sent to a witness who was not named in the document, added, “it’s a matter of life and death, we are way behind schedule!”
