West Hollywood hate crime: A gay African American man was confronted by three Hispanic men in a SUV who yelled racial and homophobic slurs at him, according to a statement from the L.A. Sheriff's Department

One of the Latino suspects got out of the vehicle and punched the black victim in the face, causing him to fall backward and lose consciousness, deputies said. He was treated at a hospital. The trio fled, and now authorities want to talk to these Hispanic men about what could be a double hate crime and an assault.
