Civil rights activist Vauhxx Booker, a member of the Monroe County Human Rights Commission, and his attorneys are calling for the U.S. District of Southern Indiana to convene a grand jury for his case. “There’s been too much feet dragging,” he said. “It’s become necessary that the government steps in.” He said the event that happened a week ago still feels like it’s going on due to the legal system’s inaction.

The FBI is investigating the reported assault of a Black man by a group of white men at Monroe Lake. Vauhxx Booker, a member of the Monroe County Human Rights Commission, said the men pinned him against a tree, shouted racial slurs and one of them threatened to “get a noose” at the Lake over the Fourth of July weekend. The assault was captured on cell phone video by Booker’s acquaintances.
Booker’s attorney, Katherine Liell, said the FBI was questioning witnesses and that charging decisions could be made soon.
“We want this investigated as a hate crime. It was clearly racially motivated,” Liell said.
