Texas State Student reports hate crime on campus

Sierra Martin | Managing Editor

San Marcos — On April 6, 2022, the Texas State University Police Department (UPD) received a report of an assault/hate crime that occurred on March 31, 2022.

The victim reported she was walking on Bobcat Trail, when she was approached by an unknown male who attempted to remove her hijab while making derogatory statements related to his perceived notion of the victim’s religious and national origin status.

The suspect was described as a white male, with medium brown hair and a high and tight haircut, in his early-to-mid 20’s, no facial hair, had tattoos and piercings. 

UPD recommends the community reports criminal activity as soon as it is safe to do so by calling 911 or the non-emergency line of UPD at 512-245-2805. When possible, carry a well-charged cell phone with emergency numbers pre-programmed.

Texas State Students can also download the Bobcat Guardian Mobile App for easy access to safety resources and safe ride options.

This is a developing investigation, San Marcos Corridor News will provide updates as they become available.

  • Who wears a high & tight anymore? That's rare in today's military. With tats & piercings, but no beard? Sorry, I'm calling BS. Someone didn't want to take a test.

  • Maybe if Robert left his basement hole from his mom's house he would know that IS the popular hair cut. Long hair is out for the most part. Nice job on dismissing a woman getting attacked. But we all know you are here just for attention. Because ...well you live in your mamma's basement and don't have a life. Maybe you got mad cow disease not wearing your mask...

    • But you're not here for attention at all, are you? Besides, you do know that 99% of the time these purported ¨hate crimes¨ end up being hoaxes perpetrated by the victims, right?

      • Yeah, that's not true. Just because Jussie Smollet made his up, doesn't mean they are all fake.

        • Kenneth is correct! George why don't you provide us some research to verify your claims. 99% are not like Juicy, and he should be in jail right now.

  • ... still suffering from wedgie trauma from gym class and have to transfer your shame to a victim....great job showing your true colors.....

  • Today there cameras everywhere so I’m sure as part of the investigation they will get exact location and review all available camera footage.

  • So has the mystery man been found yet? I demand an update. High & tight, tattoos, piercings, and no facial hair. That guy shouldn't be all that hard to find.

    (Did she take her test yet?)
