Hate Crime Reported in Troutdale, Multnomah County Sheriff's Officials say

TROUTDALE, OR – Hasel Afshar's home was vandalized Tuesday night, and Multnomah County sheriff's deputies have yet to make an arrest.

According to MCSO spokesman Lt. Chad Gaidos, when deputies arrived at Afshar's residence, "they found damage to the contents of the home as well as graffiti on the walls that included statements (consistent) with an Intimidation/Bias Crime."

From KATU News reporter Bob Heye:

"It hurt," said Afshar. "It hurts my feelings really bad. But I have to be strong and do what I can do, really. I can just sit there and cry and nothing gonna be fixed."

Multnomah County sheriff's deputies were sent to Afshar's Troutdale home on SE 26th Court for a burglary. Inside, they found the home completely ransacked and many of Afshar's belongings damaged.

Afshar's furniture was slashed, his cupboards were broken and death threats were left behind.

"The note said, 'If I see you here next month, I will shoot you and burn your house," said Afshar.
