James Nichols was charged yesterday with murdering Hmong hunter Cha Vang: Wisconsin hunter charged in slaying. Nichols shot and stabbed Vang, whose body was found January 6th in a wildlife refuge near Green Bay where both were hunting squirrels. The district attorney gave no motive for the killing, but Vang's family insists that it appears to be racially motivated—throwing more fuel on the fire of rising racial tensions in the local community.
