An early-morning fire destroyed a vacant 115-year-old former luxury hotel just south of downtown Dallas.

Dallas Fire-Rescue spokesman Jason Evans says nobody was hurt in Tuesday's blaze at what used to be the Ambassador Hotel. Evans says the caretaker was in a nearby trailer and not in the six-story building, which was undergoing renovation for redevelopment.

Evans says the cause of the fire has not been determined. The structure was engulfed in flames before being extinguished around 5 a.m. Tuesday. Firefighters remained on the scene to monitor for hot spots. A city website describes the former Ambassador Hotel as a Dallas landmark and Texas Historic Landmark. Authorities say the structure had been vacant for years.

We need a larger out cry. Not only should people of color be fighting for this to stop. But they need large supporters like Bruce/Kylie Jenner to protest against these hate crimes. There should be a $1.5M reward to catch the killer(s), and they should get the death penalty. Note to America: Live and let live. This includes unborn babies. BLEXIT
