Lin Newborn (May 7, 1974 – July 4, 1998) was an African-American anti-racist skinhead who had spent much of his adult life campaigning against racism. A native of Pomona, California, he lived in Las Vegas, Nevada where he was a member of the Las Vegas Unity Skins and sang in the band Life of Lies, which ended around 1996.
On July 4, 1998, white supremacists murdered Newborn at the age of 24 along with his friend, Daniel Shersty. On July 6, 1998, Newborn's body was found three miles west of U.S. Highway 95 near Rome Boulevard, within 150 yards (140 m) of Shersty's body. Police state that the victims were lured by two women, under the pretext of attending a party. Newborn and Shersty were taken to a northwest part of the valley, where they were beaten and possibly tortured before being shot to death. Police speculate that Newborn may have been trying to escape when he was killed.
