Gilbert Augustin, a 30-year-old man was charged with manslaughter and assault as a hate crime after beating a 66-year-old man to death while he called the victim a 'turban man.'
A man who beat a 66-year-old Sikh man to death while calling him 'turban man' after a fender bender in New York City has been charged with manslaughter as a hate crime, prosecutors announced Tuesday. Gilbert Augustin, 30, also faces charges including assault as a hate crime and unlicensed driving in the Oct. 19 death of Jasmer Singh, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced.
The altercation began after Singh's Toyota collided with Augustin's Ford Mustang. Both men pulled over and Augustin got out of his car and confronted Singh, prosecutors said. A witness said Augustin said 'No police, no police' and referred disparagingly to Singh's turban as they argued, prosecutors said. According to witness testimony and video surveillance, Augustin reached into Singh's car and grabbed Singh's cellphone.
