Winthrop vigil remembers victims killed in apparent hate crime Drew Karedes
More than a thousand people came together on the Winthrop Town Hall lawn Thursday night to remember two lives taken in an apparent hate crime.
Investigators believe 68-year-old retired State Trooper Dave Green and 60-year-old Air Force veteran Ramona Cooper, both Black, were targeted because of the color of their skin.
Cooper and Green were shot and killed by 28-year-old Nathan Allen last Saturday after he crashed a stolen box truck. The vicious murders shocked and horrified the community of Winthrop and put the town in the national spotlight.
