PHILADELPHIA (WGAL) — Philadelphia police have released new video of a group of teenagers beating an older man to death with a traffic cone.
The video shows the teens laughing as they chase and repeatedly beat the man with a traffic cone.
When first responders arrived, they found the 73-year-old man on the ground. He died from his injuries the next day.
The incident happened in June, but officers are just now releasing the video with a message for parents.
“If they are aware their son or daughter is involved in this incident, I think the best choice of action would be for them to contact an attorney and contact the homicide unit to turn themselves in,” a police official said at a news conference.
Police are offering a $20,000 reward to anyone who can provide information leading to an arrest.
Police are also hoping a new summer curfew will help prevent attacks like this.
