This file concerns the FBI investigation into the August 12, 2017 car attack in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which Heather Heyer was killed and others were injured after a white supremacist rally. The records identify the matter as a civil rights hate crimes and force or violence case, and show FBI agents and task force officers conducting interviews, checking vehicle registration and voter records, and supporting a federal grand jury. The released pages include FD-302 interview reports, evidence collection logs, property receipts, grand jury subpoena paperwork, and notes on surveillance video from nearby Charlottesville businesses such as Red Pump Kitchen, Draft Taproom, Union Bank Trust, Lynne Goldman Elements, and the Carver Recreation Center. The OCR also includes a contemporary newspaper article about James Alex Fields Jr., his family history, prior police calls involving his mother Samantha Bloom, and public statements by officials after the attack. Many pages are deleted or heavily redacted under privacy, source, and law enforcement exemptions.
