IPPA Request for Hate Crime Murder Investigation
The Islamic Political Party of America, via its Tennessee Caucus, is requesting the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) to assist them in determining the reasons/causes behind the death of Mr. Irving Warner, a.k.a.Hadeen Abdul Hakeem, in a fatal auto crash in the early morning hours on Sunday, October 31, 2004
DOVER, TN (PRWEB) November 11, 2004 -- The family of Mr. Irving Warner, whose
Islamic name is Hadeen Abdul Hakeem, has requested the Islamic Political Party
of America (IPPA) via its Tennessee Caucus to assist them in determining the
reasons/causes behind the death of Mr. Warner in a fatal auto crash in the early
morning hours on Sunday, October 31, 2004. Events following the crash and other
historical facts in a similar case raise concern among family and friends that
Mr. Warner’s death will be duly classified and investigated.
Although the
Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) is conducting an investigation to determine if
the case warrants a review by the Grand Jury, the family feels that the
circumstances may warrant that the case be treated as a hate crime and
investigated as such.
Mr. Warner was hit from the rear by Jeremiah
McBride and his car burst into flames while he was trapped inside. THP officer,
Kenny Harrison, arrived on the scene, and noted that he smelled alcohol on
McBride, who also admitted he had been drinking. However McBride was released at
the scene without charges and this is what baffles Warner’s family, who do not
want their loved one death to go unpunished.
Just two years prior on this
same highway, Ronald Wade, another Muslim and friend of Mr. Warner, was killed.
Mr. Wade’s death was classified as accidental, supposedly that he had fallen
asleep due to fatigue. Both men were known activists in the Islamic community.
After examining the car that Mr. Warner was driving, there are questions
being raised as to Mr. McBride’s real motive. The IPPA regional representatives
are contacting the THP and the State Attorneys’ office to gather answers to some
of these questions, and to ascertain how the State authorities tend to pursue
the case. These will determine further action on the part of IPPA as to what
they will do from this point.
