Gay Club Patrons Find Vehicles Vandalized

POSTED: Tuesday, January 9, 2007
UPDATED: 10:25 am CST January 9, 2007

Dozens of patrons of a gay club found their vehicles vandalized in a parking lot Tuesday, KPRC Local 2 reported.

The vehicles were parked behind EJ's in the 2500 block of Ralph Street near Westheimer Road at about 2:20 a.m.

Customers said about 28 vehicles were damaged. Some of the vehicles' tires were slashed and some had smashed windows or windshields.

"I have two flat tires and a damaged windshield," victim Andre Wagner said.

Some of the men said they believe they were the victims of a hate crime.

"I really honestly do think this was a hate crime and that people are tired of the gays parking on their lot," victim Ronnie Siebert said. "It's really sad what has happened here tonight."

The parking lot does not belong to the club and does not have surveillance cameras.

"They just did this out of anger and frustration behind a lifestyle," Wagner said.

Houston police took reports for the victims who requested them and assisted them with towing information.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
