In California, two teenagers, aged 14 and 15, are accused of fatally “stomping” a 66-year-old man near a church. It is alleged that they left and returned several times to relentlessly assault him before stealing his clothes and fleeing, as per prosecutors.

Davy Glen Pichel, from Oxnard, was discovered injured and partly unclothed outside St. Anthony’s Catholic Church on the morning of June 5. He had been attacked the previous night, according to a press release from the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office.

The teens are suspected of attacking the man while he slept. According to the DA’s office, surveillance footage from church cameras reportedly captured the incident.

“The video shows the teens approach Mr. Pichel as he was seated near the church side door next to his wheelchair,” the office said in its release. The teens allegedly beat and stomped the victim. They briefly walked away, but then allegedly returned to take turns to stomp him again.”

Pichel said that the teens returned “repeatedly” to abuse the victim. On the third attack, the teens allegedly unleashed one last flurry of violence before removing Pichel’s clothes and “fleeing the scene,” according to prosecutors. A church volunteer found Pichel near the side entrance with “significant injuries to the head and facial area” and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
