Anecia Forbes: Murder of black Maryland college student probed as possible hate crime

SUMMARY: The FBI is investigating a deadly weekend stabbing at the University of Maryland to determine whether it was hate crime, law enforcement officials said Sunday. University of Maryland student Sean Christopher Urbanski, 22, of Serverna Park, Md., faces charges of first-and second-degree murder as well as first degree assault after he allegedly attacked Bowie State University student Richard Collins III. According to charging documents, Collins was waiting for an Uber with two friends on the College Park campus at around 3 a.m. Saturday when a screaming Urbanski approached the group screaming, "Step left, step left if you know what's best for you." According to the documents, Collins said "no" and was stabbed in the chest with a folding knife.Urbanski was arrested at age scene after several witnesses identified him. Police  said the suspect had been drinking. University of Maryland Police Chief David Mitchell told a news conference Sunday evening that he had called in the FBI after learning that Urn=banski was a member of a Facebook group called "Alt-Reich: Nation," where members leave racially charged posts.

Urban ski is white and Collins was black.

ANAYLSIS: This is tragic and horrific. It is so heartbreaking how such a great soul has to die so horribly. He had his whole life a head of him. This could be synthesized to Jim Crow Laws in the South and if blacks didn't follow what the whites were saying they were often killed or lynched
