An Indiana woman who has already been charged in the attack of an 18-year-old student has been charged with a federal hate crime, officials said Friday.
Billie Davis, 56, stabbed the teenage Indiana University student in the head on a public bus in January 2023. Video of the attack shows no interaction between Davis and the student before the stabbing. According to court documents, Davis said that she stabbed the student, who is of Chinese descent, because of her race. Davis was charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery. The student, who has not been publicly identified, survived the attack
On Thursday, a federal grand jury convened in Evansville, Indiana, returned a single-count indictment charging Davis with an additional count of committing a hate crime.
