“#Racist hacker threatened to kill black city council candidate<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

A black city council candidate in Illinois received racist death threats during a Zoom call with other Democrats \u2013 with the unhinged hacker threatening to shoot her, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Carolyn Murray, who hopes to become an alderman in Evanston\u2019s 5th Ward, was interviewing for an endorsement from the city\u2019s Democratic Party on Sunday when an unauthorized participant started sending racist messages in the virtual meeting, the Chicago Tribune reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The hacker then took over the audio controls and used a racial slur to threaten to shoot Murray and other black city residents \u201clike they did to Carolyn\u2019s son,\u201d according to Eamon Kelly, Evanston\u2019s Democratic committeeman.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a racialized attack,\u201d Kelly told the Daily Northwestern<\/a>. \u201cBut Carolyn is not going to be deterred, the Democratic Party is not going to be deterred, and we\u2019re gonna cooperate fully with the police and we\u2019re gonna find out who did it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murray\u2019s son, Justin, was fatally shot outside his grandmother\u2019s house in 2012, the Tribune reported. <\/p>\n

The hacker also sent messages to people on the Zoom call saying \u201cTrump 2024\u201d and posted Murray\u2019s home address, as well as that of others on the call.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey audio-bombed it and they called me the N-word, they said they killed Justin and they would kill me,\u201d Murray told the news<\/a>paper. \u201cThey put people\u2019s address on the chat.\u201d<\/p>\n

The hateful incident prompted dozens of supporters to hold a candlelight vigil at Murray\u2019s home late Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody can be discriminated against, and that\u2019s something that we cannot tolerate,\u201d Police Chief Demitrous Cook said. \u201cIt\u2019s a very difficult time in America. It\u2019s time for all of us to stand up as brothers and sisters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evanston police are investigating the incident.<\/p>\n

Murray, meanwhile, told her supporters at Sunday\u2019s vigil she won\u2019t be intimidated by the death threat, the Daily Northwestern reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou all came out because you heard the call to say something, to take action against racism,\u201d Murray told the crowd of more than 40. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy name is Carolyn Murray. You came against me. You can came against my children. You came against my town. You came against my country, and I\u2019m gonna tell you, \u2018I ain\u2019t scared.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

A message seeking comment from Evanston police was not immedia<\/a>tely returned Tuesday.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
