Homeless Veteran Who Was Beaten Into Comatose State Has Died [+video]

A homeless veteran from Philadelphia who was beaten into a comatose state in April died on Nov. 25.

According to NBC Philadelphia, a security camera showed a vehicle driving up to a Sunoco gas station during the April 7 incident. Six women and children attacked the man using a hammer, Mace and part of a rocking chair (video below).

Barnes was in a comatose state following the attack and 40 percent of his skull was removed. Diane Barnes, Robert’s sister, said he eventually opened his eyes, but was in a vegetative state . . .

He suffered from alcoholism and chose to be homeless instead of staying sober in order to live with family members, according to Diane . . .

According to the Philadelphia Media Network, Aleathea Gillard, 34, Shareena Joachim, 23, and Kaisha Duggins, 24, were charged with aggravated assault, attempted murder and conspiracy, among other crimes. The three children involved, two of whom were one of the adult attacker’s children, pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and conspiracy charges in June 2015. All were sentenced to juvenile detention centers. (Read more from “Homeless Veteran Who Was Beaten Into Comatose State Has Died” HERE)
