White Supremacist Arrested for Christmas Killing in Texas
---------------------------------------------------------



In Texas, a man with ties to a white supremacist group has been arrested
on capital murder charges after he allegedly shot dead a store owner in
Liberty, Texas on Christmas night. Police said the alleged killer,
Stevie “Bubba” Walder, is a known white supremacist who has a large
swastika tattooed on his left bicep. The victim of the shooting was
identified as fifty-year-old Naushad Virani. Virani was working on
Christmas so his employees could have the night off with their families.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations has called on the FBI to
determine whether hate crime charges should also be filed against
Walder.
