Philadelphia police are now looking for the teenagers who are responsible for the death of a homeless guy in the said city. The victim is said to be beaten to death while the kids tried to rob him.
In a report by Philadelphia Police Department, the incident was reported on Sunday, Nov. 26. At around 6 p.m., the law enforcement was responding to a proceeding robbery at the 4200 block of Loring Street. The officers then found an unconscious guy lying on the ground near Mayfair.
The victim was brought to Aria Torresdale Hospital and died before 7 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 27. He was identified as Kevin Cullen, a 57-year-old homeless guy from Philadelphia, on Tuesday, Nov. 29.
His death is now being investigated by the homicide unit, and the police believe that it is caused by robbery. The suspects are a few teenagers, although they are not yet sure how many are involved.
Police reports reveal that the teenagers responsible for the homeless man's death were wearing dark clothes, while the other one was wearing a grey camouflage jacket. Initially, the investigators had taken in two people for the investigation.
However, they were later released in anticipation of additional investigation. As of Tuesday evening, there were no arrests made.
In an interview with ABC's Philadelphia station WPVI, a woman, who named herself Donna, told the network that she had heard someone was being attacked outside her home. "They hit his head into [sic] the wall so hard that I felt it in my house, on the second floor," she said.
She aslo said that the moment she went out to help the victim, she saw the homeless man's pockets turned inside out. She, too, saw some teenagers running away while laughing, and said, "We got him."
The victim's brother, Tom Cullen, on the other hand, also told the network that his younger sibling was not abandoned, but "was loved deeply." "We didn't get to see him too often. He would come in and out of our lives," he said.
