Man Accused of Deliberately Hitting Two Boys Won’t Face Hate Crime Charges

When a man allegedly targeted a group of young boys walking home from school, many were shocked by what followed.

Despite claims that the act was intentional, authorities have decided not to pursue hate crime charges, prompting public outcry and debate.

While 21-year-old Colorado resident Oghaleoghene Atunu was driving down a suburban street, he encountered a trio of 11- and 12-year-old boys walking home from school.

Witnesses say the Aurora man circled the area before slowly approaching the children. Without apparent warning or provocation, Atunu reportedly took a sudden and dangerous action.

According to KDVR, Atunu accelerated his vehicle, jumped the curb, and struck two of the three boys before fleeing the scene.
