PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police have three juveniles in custody in connection with the fatal beating death of a 57-year-old homeless man in northeast Philadelphia.
Authorities were called to the scene Nov. 26 for a robbery in progress. Police found Kevin Cullen on the ground unconscious with his pockets empty.
One resident who lives nearby previously said she heard a group of teens laughing as they ran away from Cullen.
The man was transported to a nearby hospital, and he died from his injuries the next day.
Cullen’s brother, Tom Cullen, said Wednesday that he was well-known in the city’s Mayfair neighborhood. Tom Cullen says his brother was “loved deeply.”
Police have not filed charges against the three juveniles in custody.
