Black Teenager Dies of Asthma Attack While Being Chased by White Youths Yelling Slurs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In another case being described as a possible hate crime, an
African-American boy has died after running from a group of mostly white
teenagers who were reportedly shouting racial slurs in Staten Island.
The New York Daily News reports a dispute between two groups of
teenagers escalated when the mostly white group chased after 16-year-old
Dayshen Mc Kenzie and his friends with a gun, shouting the N-word. Mc
Kenzie collapsed and died of an asthma attack.
