White Supremacist Arrested for Christmas Killing in Texas

HeadlineDec 29, 2009

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.
