Man arrested in Tampa dog park shooting, faces hate crime charge

Zoom in: Radford told law enforcement that he shot Lay in self-defense. Deputies did not have "enough evidence" then to conclude otherwise, per a press release.

• "After analyzing the evidence, it was clear that this man acted from hatred within his heart," Sheriff Chad Chronister said Friday.
• The State Attorney's Office said it would seek a hate crime enhancement.

What they're saying: "Today, as we reflect on Walt's life and the tragedy of his untimely death, we are reminded of the urgency of our mission and the importance of unity in our community," Equality Florida said in a statement.

• "We stand together, demanding change and a return to values that protect and preserve life, not endanger it."
