Attack On Gay Louisiana Teen Is Now Being Investigated As Hate Crime
Holden White, who was hospitalized for almost a month last year, alleged that Chance Seneca targeted him because of his sexuality.
LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) A hate crime charge has been added to attempted murder in the case of a gay Louisiana teenager who was attacked by another teen he met on a dating app last year.
Police initially said the evidence did not support a hate crime in the attack on Holden White, who spent days in a coma and nearly a month in the hospital and still does not have full use of both hands. White said the other teen wrapped a cord around his neck so tightly he lost consciousness and that he woke up in a bathtub where the assailant repeatedly slashed his wrists.
