10 Teens Attack a Homeless Man and Leave Him for Dead
July 12: A homeless man died in the hospital after being beaten by a group of 10 teenagers. Terry Turner, 45, was attacked and robbed by the group in the middle of a busy intersection. They also stole $65 dollars from him.
The teenagers fled the scene once an ambulance arrived for Turner. Turner was taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, where he died of blunt trauma wounds. “They killed a man for nothing,” Turner’s friend, Michelle Wallace told WSOC-TV in Charlotte, NC. Relatives have been working with local businesses to raise awareness about what happened and collect money for a reward.
Police arrested Jatorre Dixon, 16, and two 15-year-olds, whose names were not released because they are juveniles. All three were charged with first-degree murder and common-law robbery. Police are still searching for the other boys involved.
