Police said the videotape shows passing cars slowing to watch three teens attack Waters until he staggered into the parking lot, where he was assisted by employees of the towing company.<br \/>\n&#8220;And it was just horrifying the way he looked,&#8221; said Marlo Massey, Waters&#8217; sister, who viewed her brother&#8217;s body after the attack. &#8220;They beat him to death and I just can&#8217;t stop thinking what was on his mind while it was happening.&#8221;<br \/>\nWaters suffered from blunt abdominal trauma, a closed head injury and damaged internal organs, the Cuyahoga County coroner said.<br \/>\nA number of passing cars slowed down to watch the attack, but none of them stopped, said Cleveland Police Lt. Thomas Stacho.<br \/>\nThe attackers, estimated at ages 14 to 17, all wore white T-shirts, and one rode a silver BMX bicycle, police said. They robbed Waters of a music player and head phones, police said. No arrests have been made.<br \/>\nWaters was a welder by trade but had been staying at a Cleveland-area homeless shelter, said his friend, Paul Eadeh.<br \/>\n&#8220;He&#8217;s a good guy, a hard working person. He was just trying to make some money to eat and to live,&#8221; said Eadeh.<br \/>\nEadeh said Waters worked odd jobs for him at Mike&#8217;s Beverages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowFullScreen allowTransparency=\"true\" class=\"vzaar-video-player\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"336\" id=\"vzvd-1194140\" mozallowfullscreen name=\"vzvd-1194140\" src=\"http:\/\/view.vzaar.com\/1194140\/player\" title=\"vzaar video player\" type=\"text\/html\" webkitAllowFullScreen width=\"448\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>CLEVELAND (AP) A group of teenagers beat a homeless man to death as passersby slowed to watch,<br \/>\nCleveland police said Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[150],"class_list":["post-2456","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog-stories","tag-homeless-hate-crimes"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
