Woman in viral Rochester video says she moved, intends to fight charges

This week, the Rochester City Attorney's Office filed a misdemeanor complaint against Shiloh Hendrix, accusing them of disorderly conduct on three separate occasions for using racial slurs in a local park.
The charges stem from a widely shared video dated the week of April 28, 2025, which depicts Hendrix directing a racial slur at a Black child at the playground located within Roy Sutherland Park, leading to widespread public condemnation and subsequent legal proceedings.
The Rochester NAACP hosted a community forum on May 7 and launched a GoFundMe campaign raising over $340,000 to support the targeted child's family amid ongoing advocacy for justice.
Hendrix has raised more than $800,000 through crowdfunding to defend her family, stating, "I guarantee you that I will NOT be backing down" and she is confident in her legal success.
No trial date is set yet, and the NAACP considers the misdemeanor charges a first step but calls for further legal action, while Hendrix plans to continue fighting the case.
