Investigators are calling the January stabbing of a black man a hate crime and have arrested three Latino men in connection with the slaying, a San Diego Sheriff’s Department official said Monday.

Hugh Pettigrew, 33, was walking home along Ammunition Road in Fallbrook when three men attacked and knifed him on Jan. 22 about 10:45 p.m., investigators said.

“After extensive investigation, we believe that the allegations support the charge that [Pettigrew] was targeted because of his race,” Lt. Kenn Nelson said.
