Vauhxx Booker, the black man who was pinned against a tree by five white men while they yelled “white power” and “get a noose,” believes he might’ve been killed this weekend near Lake Monroe, had friends not recorded the incident and stepped in.

His lawyer, Katherine Lyells, announced the FBI is investigating the incident as a hate crime.
