Latinos worry about being targeted for crime

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice* | February 28, 2008 

The brutal deaths of two Latino men in less than two weeks have flamed worries that immigrants are being targeted because of their community’s acknowledged reluctance to report crimes to police. A 42-year-old Gaithersburg man was found beaten and stabbed to death on Feb. 17 in the parking lot of his apartment building. The suspects, three men wielding an iron pipe and a baseball bat, are still at large, police said. And on Feb. 16, a 22-year-old Wheaton man was found stabbed to death in the hallway of an Aspen Hill apartment building. Three men have been arrested in that death, an apparent robbery gone bad, police reported in charging documents.
