Only ABC13 has been reporting on a Huntsville homeowner's friction with his homeowners association, including racist messaging spray-painted on his door. Now, he believes things have escalated with deadly consequences.Two people have been confirmed dead and another badly injured when a house burned down in Huntsville.Eyewitness News has been covering the homeowner's long battle with what he calls racial targeting.
"Look, I feel like this," Roberson, pointing at the rubble, said. "Worn down, torn down. This is my first time looking at it and seeing it since it actually happened." He believes at least one of the victims may be one of his relatives, but he's still waiting on official confirmation. The state fire marshal is still investigating whether the fire was intentionally set and how two people died.
"We have that fear in the back of our head. 'Could it be coming our way?' And it don't need to be like this," James Schwebach, Roberson's friend and neighbor, said. Eyewitness News first told you about the property in early May, when Roberson, who owns and rents out several homes in the Waterwood area, went to the sheriff's office, showing them racist graffiti that he said somebody painted on his back door.
