''The media needs to tell the truth,'' said John Michels, brother of Paul Andre Michels, a 54-year-old security systems company owner who was servicing a client at the time of the shootings. ''And it really angers me that I have a dead brother, in a crime, and they’re talking about race. If it were me … I am very angry at these morons in the media.''
Police reported that the suspect in the case, Robert Aaron Long, told them there was no racial motivation in Tuesday’s shootings, but that he blamed the massage parlors ''for providing an outlet for his addiction to sex.''
However, countless news outlets have emphasized race as a potential motive for the attack despite the police statements.
