SHERMAN, Texas -- A federal grand jury returned an 18-count superseding indictment charging four Texas men with federal hate crime and conspiracy charges after they allegedly targeted gay men, CBS Dallas / Fort Worth reports.
Anthony Shelton, 19; Nigel Garrett, 21; Chancler Encalade, 20; and Cameron Ajiduah, 18, were named in the indictment returned by a federal grand jury Wednesday charging them with conspiring to cause bodily injury to people because of the sexual orientation.
For each of the four home invasions, the defendants used Grindr, a social media dating platform for gay men, to falsely identify as a gay man and arrange to meet the victim at the victim's home.
Once inside, the defendants assaulted the victim, restrained the victim with tape, and made derogatory statements about their homosexuality.
The defendants had a firearm during each home invasion, and they stole the victim's property, including cars.
