A Redmond man says he was the victim of a racially charged attack at a local skatepark and that Redmond police downplayed the incident, according to a detailed post he shared on a community forum.
The poster describes a string of encounters at the park where, he says, a group routinely yelled racial slurs and made monkey noises at him.
He says the hostility escalated on one afternoon when five people surrounded and beat him in broad daylight in front of witnesses.
He names Josten Lopez, Toan Dinh “Donnie” Ngo, Cameron “Kimbo” Mirochnik, Tony Martinez, and a skater known only as “Derrick” as the people involved, and says a bystander identified as Sofia “Sofa” Voitovych watched but did not intervene.
He wrote that multiple people called 911 during the attack and that some of the alleged assailants admitted what happened while officers were at the scene.
According to the post, the responding report later said there was “no victim” and that he had asked charges not be filed, statements the poster says are false.
The man also says he reviewed body-worn camera footage and other records he obtained through public-records requests, and that those materials raise questions about how officers handled the response.
He says he has asked the department to correct the report, requested a different investigator be assigned, filed complaints with the department’s Office of Professional Standards, and submitted a Crime Victims Compensation claim that he says was denied.
The forum thread includes a mix of reactions. Some readers urged him to press formal complaints or seek legal help, while others questioned elements of his account and called for more evidence.
One individual wrote, “Tony’s a good guy, man. Dunno why you’re making up things about him.”
“Tony is known at the Redmond skate park and is as nice as they come,” added another person.
A handful of commenters suggested the poster continue mental-health care and document everything he has.
Redmond Police did not immediately post a public statement tied to the forum post.
It is not clear from the materials the poster shared whether criminal charges were filed; the allegations in the post remain unproven.
Because the account comes from a community post and associated records obtained by the poster, this report uses the poster’s claims and does not assert that the named individuals committed a crime.
Anyone with additional information about the incident is asked to contact Redmond Police.
