In Riverhead, N.Y. a couple of friends roamed the city playing a sport which they named Mexican-hoping or beaner hoping. They mainly looked for Hispanics to attack but mainly Mexicans because they felt these people were easy targets who would not speak of the attack. The teenagers were charged with attacking or trying to attack six Hispanic men. One of the attackers, Jeffrey Conroy, 19, attacked Ecuadorean immigrant, Marcelo Lucero. The fatal stabbing of Mr. Lucero shocked many on Long Island and focused new attention on assaults and harassment of Latinos in the area.
