Dylann Storm Roof On the Run After Murder? ~by Legal Pub

What could  possibly  motivate such cruelty? If true, Dylann Storm Roof, 21, walked into Emanuel AME Church in Charleston and murdered nine people studying the Bible. The 5' 9" Dylann Storm Roof is a wanted man.   Was this a racially motivated shooting?  Emanuel AME is a historic church with a strong African-American membership. But is there more to the story? The historical church has frequent visitors of all races, nationalities and colors.

The 120 lb Dylann Storm Roof  fled the scene in a 2000 Hyundai Elantra GS, SC registration LGF330.  Did Dylann want to get caught?  He likely knew that there was surveillance cameras present. Roof's license plate is a distinctive  specialty plate.  He may have even communicated his intent to kill in advance of the shooting. In fact, he had apparently been at the bible study meeting for almost an hour before he fired the first shot. Furthermore, he apparently intentionally left a surviving witness to tell exactly what happened.

While questions remain, look for this case to be treated as a hate crime involving the murder of three men and six women.

As always, Dylann Storm Roof, like any person of interest is presumed innocent unless otherwise proven in a court of law.
