“You should feel safe in your own home,” Shayla Smith said. “I’m completely shocked. Our communities are becoming more and more diverse. And it’s exhausting that in 2022 we still need to have a discussion over race.”
After spending time with friends and family Thanksgiving evening, Deborah Smith returned to her townhouse near the 1000 block of Seibel Drive, where she noticed papers spewed across the parking lot. She opened one of the papers to find a letter using slurs toward Black people and other intimidating language allegedly from another tenant.
Police said no one has been charged for the letters because of “lack of evidence and conflicting stories.” “To know that nothing can really be done at this time was a little unsettling,” Shayla Smith said. “But I was happy to know that the authorities were already aware of the situation and that they were attempting to try to figure something out to come up with the potential solution.”spoke to a leasing office employee for the apartment complex on Seibel Drive. She confirmed there were no security videos on the property but did not want to provide a comment.
Smith said she is hoping that sharing about what happened will raise awareness of racism and inspire other people to speak out.
