UPDATE: Recent Black College Graduate Beaten To Death In Greece Was Over A Selfie
According to multiple reports, the group of mostly white men who beat 22-year-old American graduate Bakari Henderson in Greece was enraged over his talking to a white waitress.
According to the Washington Post, Greek police spokesman Theodore Chronopoulos Video said that the brawl started after Henderson, who was vacationing with friends on the island of Zakynthos, asked to take a picture with a waitress. That quickly escalated into a fist fight involving other customers and two bar employees.
In security footage released, the mob is extremely violent, pummeling the young man to death in a span of just 30 seconds, Chronopoulos said.
According to the Daily Mail, a security guard who has been charged with Henderson’s death said that a group of Serbians were angry that he was talking to a Serbian waitress just before the fight began.
So far, at least 8 have been arrested and charged, including six Serbs, one Greek and one Serbian-Brit.
“They kicked and punched him to his body and his head,” he said. “His death came from hits in his head.”
Daniel Brown, one of three friends with Henderson, told ABC News that they weren’t speaking to outside people when the suspects initiated the fight. He said they immediately started CPR on Henderson after the suspects left and rushed him to a hospital.
As we previously reported, the Texas native recently graduated from the University of Arizona in May with a bachelor’s degree in business finance and entrepreneurship. It was his love for business that brought him to Greece, his family told CNN.
Henderson was there working on a photo shoot to launch a new clothing line.
