Claremont PD Investigates Hate Crime Against Gay Resident

Claremont Police say they are investigating a hate crime after a homeowner reported finding a slur spray painted on their home’s garage door.

The slur appeared to target a gay resident who rents a room at the home in the 2200 block of Navarro Drive. Police did not disclose what was written.

The offensive language may have been painted on sometime between 8 p.m. Monday and 7:30 a.m. Tuesday, investigators said.

The culprits used black spray paint to write the homosexual slur across the garage door, police said.

Police ask anyone with any information to call the Claremont Police Department at (909) 399-5411.
