The Tulsa Police Department reported that Lundin Hathcock, 35, was shot at the Rudisill Library, and James McDaniel, 55, was shot at a QuikTrip convenience store. <\/p>\n<h3>A Racially Motivated Hate Crime<\/h3>\n<p>Authorities are calling it a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ice-nominee-worked-with-blm-to-push-false-claim-that-white-man-murdered-7-year-old-black-girl\/\" title=\"ICE Nominee Worked With BLM to Push False Claim That White Man Murdered 7-Year-Old Black Girl\">racially motivated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/man-in-nyc-arrested-for-a-string-of-attacks-on-women\/\" title=\"Man in NYC arrested for a string of attacks on women\">hate crime<\/a><\/a>, and Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler said that evidence suggests Gilford shot both men because they were white. Gilford has been charged with a hate crime for his alleged killings. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe allegation in this charge is that race or color played a role in these shootings,\u201d Kunzweiler told Newsweek. \u201cBased upon the investigation, we have reason to believe that race played a role in the homicides. That evidence will be presented in front of a judge or jury. Mr. Gilford has the presumption of innocence until proven guilty by a judge or jury.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>The Gruesome Details<\/h3>\n<p>The suspect allegedly walked up behind Hathcock while he was sitting at a desk and shot him in the back of the head. Hathcock was rushed to a hospital where he later died. Gilford then allegedly went to the nearby convenience store and shot McDaniel in the same manner before firing another shot at him after he fell to the ground. McDaniel died at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities said that surveillance footage from the QuikTrip store showed Gilford firing at a security guard and another person outside the store. The suspected murderer was detained when officers arrived on the scene and he allegedly admitted to killing the two strangers.<\/p>\n<h3>Charges and Court Appearance<\/h3>\n<p>Gilford was charged with two counts of shooting with intent to kill and one count of malicious intimidation or harassment, which is Oklahoma\u2019s version of a hate crime. The suspected murderer is being held without bond and is expected to appear in court on June 23.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation into the two deadly shootings is ongoing at this time, and detectives are still working to learn a motive.
