Witnesses to a beating at a Morrow Cracker Barrel are talking to CBS Atlanta about what they call a “shocking hate crime.”

Ginger Ellis loves her three grandchildren. She was especially taken by the 7-year-old girl in the tutu, skipping into the Cracker Barrel in Mororw with her mother last Wednesday.

“I smiled at her and said hey baby,” said Ellis.

But just seconds later Ellis watched as 7-year-old Shiyenn Hill’s mother Tawshawnea Hill was beaten by 6′2″ 250 lb. Troy Dale West. Police said the beating happened right in front of Shiyenn.

..

One Cracker Barrel employee, who asked not to be identified said when Hill politely told West to be careful, he went on a racial tirade.

The employee said Hill told West, “Please don’t do this, I’m in the military,” to which West responded “I don’t give a f***you black n***** b****and then started punching her.” The employee said “I saw the foot motion of him kicking her. As he was punching her, he called her a black n***** b**** twice.”

Ginger Ellis says she is convinced the attack was racially motivated “because he used the N word and the way he kept kicking her and he kept hitting her. You could see the evilness on his face.”

Monday night, all 36-year-old Darrick Collins wanted was his cell phone. But when he reached for it, instead of phoning a friend, he died.

A Los Angeles County deputy killed him, firing rounds through a fence, three striking Collins in the back.

Collins, who had two children, was suspected of being involved in an armed robbery according to Los Angeles police. Stalking the unincorporated community of Athens, the deputy spotted two men who allegedly fit the description of the suspects. “Collins appeared to reach into his waistband for a weapon while fleeing the scene, and a deputy opened fire, sheriff’s Sgt. Diane Hecht said,” according to KTLA.com.

Police would later find no weapon and no connection to the robbery.

Los Angeles Sheriff Lee Baca ordered an “expedited” investigation into the killing, while Collins’ family has called for murder charges to be filed against the deputy.

NBC Los Angeles added: “Sheriff’s Department Spokesman Steve Whitmore said that, in having the department quickly examine Monday’s shooting, Baca is not saying that ‘anything was wrong’ with it.”

“He just wants to examine from top to bottom and maybe training has to be refocused,” Whitmore told the network.

“‘Why would they kill him?’ said Kendra Dean, the mother of one of Collins’ children, a 16-month-old boy,” reported MyFoxLA. “‘They’re supposed to serve and protect. They ain’t doing that for me. They ain’t doing that for Derrick Collins Senior because they killed him, they shot him down.’”

The MyFoxLA video broadcast notes that the deputy fired his weapon through a wooden fence, and includes photos of the bullet holes. The network’s story neglects to mention this, as do other area reports.

“He killed my nephew,” said Jane Lawrence, Collins’ aunt. “He put three bullet holes through this wooden gate, shooting him in the back. Cop just wanted to fire over his head and say stop, just shoot into the sky, you know? He didn’t have to shoot him and kill him.”
