Police are investigating an assault that occurred in downtown Salt Lake City during Pride Weekend, and it could potentially be a hate crime.
According to police, the assault happened while a group of three people were walking in the area of 150 W. 600 South around 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning. They had been at a Pride event, SLCPD wrote in a press release.
The victim's two friends then tried to intervene, but the man punched them as well while using"homophobic hate speech toward all three victims." "At this point, the assault does not appear to be targeted, nor does it appear to be a stranger-on-stranger attack. The specific motive to the assault remains unknown. However, because hate speech was used during the assault, this case is being investigated as a potential hate crime," the press release read.Anyone with information, photos or videos of the incident is asked to call the department at 801-799-3000 and reference case number 22-105521.
"Cruz Greene , 22, and I, Erick Ledesma 24, were assaulted at around 2:00 AM by [suspect's name redacted] after celebrating Pride weekend with some friends at local gay nightclub, Milk +. The assault occurred at the Garden Lofts apartment complex, 154 W 600 S, in front of several witnesses.
