Fresno police: Murder suspect who shouted "Allah Akbar" had nothing to do with terrorism

Kori Ali Muhammad, 39, shouted ‘Allahu Akhbar,’ meaning ‘God is great,’ in Arabic while being apprehended shortly after the shootings.

He later told police that he hates white people. His victims were all Caucasian males apparently chosen at random.

Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer called the acts ‘unprovoked’ and ‘solely based on race’. They are investigating the incident as a hate crime.

Dyer added that the killings had ‘nothing to do with terrorism in spite of the statement he made.’
