YouTube Description: St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Joel Currier’s article about a Bosnian immigrant being murdered by hammer-wielding teenagers fails to mention the possibility that at least some of the teens were black until deep into the article. Conversely, a video shot by a resident of South St. Louis’ Bevo Mill neighborhood reveals heretofore-unpublished details about what happened near the intersection of Gravois Avenue and Itaska Street before the attack that left Zemir Begic, 32, dead
This just in, a 17 year-old has turned himself in after a fatal hammer attack on a Bosnian man in St. Louis.
A 32 year-old Bosnian man (visiting from Florida), Zenir Begic was sitting in traffic when several juveniles surrounded his car and began beating the car.
The man got out of the vehicle and was yelled at for a short time before he was beaten severely by two people armed with hammers.
The victim was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Two juveniles, 15 & 16 were taken into custody.
The St. Louis Dispatch originally reported that the man lived.
He did not survive.
The newspaper also refuses to acknowledge the attack was in response to the killing of Michael Brown.
Witnesses told B911 the attackers had been seen protesting the death of Michael Brown before the attack.
This story is developing.
More to come.
