12-Year-Old Charged With Murder in Brutal Beating Death of 70-Year-Old Asian-American Man

https://www.thedailybeast.com/philadelphia-12-year-old-charged-with-murder-in-brutal-beating-death-of-70-year-old-asian-american-man

A 12-year-old Philadelphia boy is accused of fatally beating a 70-year-old Asian American man during a brutal carjacking attack. The boy, who has not been named because he is a minor, allegedly joined two others in carrying out the deadly assault. A 16-year-old and 18-year-old also face murder charges in connection with the Dec. 2 carjacking, according to Philadelphia police.

The victim, Chung Yan Chin, was left clinging to life in a hospital after prosecutors say the three youths threw him to the ground and pummeled him before making off with his vehicle. He suffered a brain injury and died on Dec. 21. The 12-year-old faces a court hearing next week, while 18-year-old John Nusslein faces a court hearing for murder charges in April. The 16-year-old, identified by police as Qiyam Muhammad, has an arrest warrant out for him but is not yet in custody, authorities said.

Two males, ages 12 and 18, are charged with murder for the beating death of a 70-year-old man in Mayfair. Police identified the 12-year-old as Kalib Morales, of the 1600 block of Wakeling in Frankford. The 18-year-old is John Nusslein, of the 3200 block of Birch Road in the Far Northeast. An arrest warrant has been issued for Qiyam Muhammad, 16.

The incident took place on Dec. 2, at 10:35 p.m. Officers in the 15th Police District responded to a radio call for a “Hospital Case” on the 3000 block of Teesdale St. Upon arrival, officers observed an unresponsive male, later identified as Chung Yan Chin, bleeding from the face and head. The victim was transported to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital by Medic 38 and placed in ICU in critical condition.

Fairly safe assumption that they didn't mean to kill Chin. I hope they are now filled with regret and remorse.

Maybe Morales, the 12 year old, can find some redemption after he becomes an adult. because he's a minor, he will be released at some point.

The 16 year old may be convicted as an adult.

Nusslein is unlikely to see parole for decades, if ever.

Stupid stupid children. What a waste.
