Three Teens Film Themselves Beating a Man Who Later Died, Charged with Murder

28 July 2010 No Comment

Three teenage boys who filmed themselves attacking a 47-year-old Salvadoran immigrant and then shared the video among other teens in the town have been arrested and charged with murder.   On the evening of July 17, after finishing his shift at a restaurant, Abelino Mazaniego was resting on a bench when he was attacked inexplicably by the three young men.

Khayri Williams-Clark, 18, Nigel Dumas, 19, and an unidentified 17-year-old were arrested July 21, and charged with murder.  The victim, a father of four, died in the hospital on July 20, 2010.  According the The Star Ledger, one teenager can be seen holding Mazaniego’s shirt while another punched him in the face on the video the teens filmed.

As if being beat nearly to death wasn’t enough, while Mazaniego was dying in the hospital, 39-year-old nurse Stephan Randolph allegedly emptied the man’s wallet of $640 cash. Randolph has been charged with third-degree theft.
