Stabbings in Montrose: Racist Groups Suspected

Houston police acknowledged a disturbing possibility: two stabbings in the Montrose–Hyde Park area — one

of them fatal — might be connected, and both might be the work of racist skinhead groups

whose presence in the city had been quietly expanding. The attacks happened just days apart

in January 1989, and together they shook a neighborhood already familiar with harassment

but unprepared for murder.
