What a crazy story. Over the weekend, America was outraged and sickened when they found out a 20-year-old black woman from Louisiana had seemingly been the victim of a hate crime, being burned alive by “3 men in white hoodies,” who wrote “KKK” and “N*gger” on her car. Sharmeka Moffitt had called 911 from the park she had been walking in, and was taken to the hospital where doctors determined that she’d have to stay there for at least a month to undergo surgery for the severe burns covering over 60% of her body. She received an outpouring of love from all over, including receiving close to 50k likes as of 9:30pm EST tonight on a support page created on Facebook. Her mom spoke out with a tearful statement yesterday, adding “I have never known anything like this to happen in Winnsboro.” Now the story has taken a twisted turn, after police and FBI investigations determined it was Sharmeka herself that wrote the hateful words on her own car and lit herself on fire. Details below from the police’s findings and the statement her family has since released with the new updates. Prayers with them in this difficult time! Marisa Mendez
