A mob of teens reportedly beat a homeless man while streaming the attack on Instagram. KFOR reported that the teens savagely ripped out the man's colostomy bag and left him for dead.
Two teens are in custody while police in Oklahoma City are searching for several more teens involved in a brutal attack on a homeless man who was left for dead, according to a report. According to court documents obtained by KFOR, a homeless man identified as Tilman Shannon was jumped and nearly beaten to death by a large group of teens on May 26. Surveillance video captured the whole ordeal and revealed several teens yelling and threatening Shannon from a vehicle.
Oklahoma City Police Sgt. Dillion Quirk told KFOR that the most disturbing actions from the attack were found on social media as one of the alleged suspects, Veronica Benavente, 19, streamed the attack on her Instagram page. An arrest affidavit reportedly said Benavente was heard yelling racist slurs and racist expletives at Shannon as the group carried out the beating. Police said about nine teens were involved in the attack.
Villagomez is also being held in the Oklahoma County Detention Center on a $100,000 bond and is facing charges of aggravated assault and battery, maiming and conspiracy to commit a felony. When reached by Fox News Digital, Oklahoma City police refused to provide any information about the crime.
