DURHAM, N.C. — A grand jury in North Carolina indicted a man Monday on three counts of murder in the shootings of three Muslims in what authorities call a dispute over parking spaces.
Television stations WRAL and WTVD reported a grand jury in Durham County handed up the indictments Monday for Craig Hicks, 46.
Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23; his wife, Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, 21; and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, were all found dead in their Chapel Hill condominium last week. Hicks was their neighbor, and others who lived nearby said he had frequent problems with where people parked in the complex near the University of North Carolina.
Police in Chapel Hill have said they have not uncovered any evidence Hicks acted out of hatred for his neighbors’ faith, but their investigation continues. The FBI is also investigating.
