Teenage Girls Sentenced in Elderly Man's Death

In a shocking case from Washington, D.C., a group of five teenage girls, aged 12 to 15, brutally beat 64-year-old Reggie Brown to death on October 17, 2023, simply because they were 'bored' and looking for something to do. The assault began when an unidentified man attacked Brown, prompting the girls to join in, with one girl later testifying that she suggested they find someone to beat up. Video evidence captured the harrowing attack, where the girls kicked Brown, stomped on his head, and used his own belt against him. Brown, who suffered from debilitating illnesses, was declared dead at the scene from blunt force trauma. The oldest girl, now 15, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge and testified against her accomplices, while two other girls implicated the unknown man who initially attacked Brown. The brutal nature of the crime has raised significant concerns about youth violence and accountability.
