Hicks' wife, Karen Hicks, and a former roommate of Barakat confirmed that Craig Hicks had been part of a long-running parking dispute.
"I can say that it is my absolute belief that this incident had nothing up do with religion or the victims' faith, but in fact was related to long-standing parking disputes my husband had with various neighbors regardless of their race, religion or creed," Karen Hicks said.One of her attorneys, Robert Maitland, said Hicks had tried to resolve the parking dispute with the homeowners association several times without success.
