Video circulated on social media on Memorial Day of a woman in Central Park claiming she was calling 911 to falsely claim an "African-American man" was threatening her life.
It reportedly started after he filmed her walking her dog without a leash.
Internet sleuths worked to identify the woman. During the day on Monday, rumors of her identity spread online.
Raw Story is not identifying the woman named at this time, but can report that she reportedly worked for Franklin Templeton.
Late on Monday, the company put out a statement on their verified Twitter account.
The company said the statement was "in response to an incident involving an employee."
"We take these matters seriously, and we do not condone racism of any kind," the statement said.
"While we are in the process of investigating the situation, the employee involved has been put on administrative leave," the statement continued.
The woman also reportedly lost her dog.
