That boy who was beat to death... did we ever find out if that was one of those interracial hate crimes that the newspapers deftly avoid exposing?

Shane was stomped to death by a 15 year old boy who THOUGHT that Shane had given cigarettes to his brother! Not Mustard Gas. Not a bomb. But "cigarettes!"

Yes, I know that's the story, but I have recently become aware that violent crimes that seem utterly incomprehensible are often black on white hate crimes that the press masks as just "random crime" by concealing the races of the victim and the attacker. So, at the risk of sounding like a budding KKK-er... was the 15 year old boy black?
