A white man is accused of making racists comments to a North Carolina barber just before he shot and killed the man Tuesday in the parking lot of BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse.
Julius Sampson, a 32-year-old Black father of three, died in the incident Tuesday in Winston-Salem, which is about 30 miles west of Greensboro, N.C., authorities said.

Spectators have told reporters Sampson was defending a female bartender when he got into an argument with his alleged shooter Robert Granato, but police have not confirmed that report.
The Chronicle, Winston-Salem’s oldest community newspaper, reported that a 2014 photo from Granato’s Instagram account shows him standing with a man displaying what appears to be the OK hand signal associated with white supremacy.
