The husband of Lisa Alexander, Robert Larkin, was fired from San Francisco-based financial firm Raymond James. In the viral video, Larkin joined Alexander in confronting Pacific Heights resident James Juanillo, asking if he was "defacing private property" or if he actually lived at the house where he was writing "Black Lives Matter" in washable chalk.
"Raymond James has zero tolerance for racism or discrimination of any kind," read a statement tweeted by the firm at 3:40 a.m. on Monday. "An inclusive workplace is fundamental to our culture, one in which people are free to bring their whole selves to their careers, and we expect our associates to conduct themselves appropriately inside and outside of the workplace."
Larkin reportedly co-led the firm's national pension funding and tobacco settlement securitization teams, covering the state of California, UC Regents and California State University.
"After an investigation into the circumstances of a video alleging racism by one of our associates, we have concluded that the actions of he and his partner were inconsistent with our values, and the associate is no longer employed with Raymond James," the statement reads.
