Redlands Police Investigate Drive-By at Hanukkah-Decorated Home as Possible Hate Crime

Investigators say evidence points to an airsoft gun, with no shell casings or visible muzzle flash.

Overview

  • A car passed a Jewish family's residence on the 1300 block of Magnolia Avenue on Friday night, shouted an antisemitic slur, and fired an estimated 20 rounds at the home.
  • No injuries were reported, and authorities say the house appeared to be targeted because of its Hanukkah decorations.
  • Police believe an airsoft-style weapon was used after the scene yielded no casings and surveillance video showed no muzzle flash.
  • The suspect fled and remains at large, with no released description of the vehicle or occupants.
  • Redlands Police increased patrols near houses of worship and urged tips to detectives at (909) 798-7681 Ext. 1, as the homeowner’s posted video drew condemnation from the ADL and local officials.
