Brooklyn Teen Beaten To Death By 10 Gang Members

Enough is enough with this foolishness.

A Brooklyn teen died from his injuries last night nearly two weeks after he was chased down by a mob of 10 young men who punched, stomped and bashed him with a bicycle, police said.

Johnny Santiago, 17, was beaten on an East New York streetcorner in what police sources described as a gang feud.

The June 6 attack left him brain dead. He passed away at Brookdale University Hospital yesterday, police said.

Santiago lived in East New York. He had gang ties and a short rap sheet of collars for serious crimes – robbery and weapons possession, the sources said. His family could not be reached Friday night.

Police got a 911 call about 10:30 p.m. on June 6 for an assault in progress near the corner of Van Siclen and Wortman Aves. It is an area notorious for gang activity, the sources said.

Detectives are investigating Santiago’s death, but the motive for the vicious gang beatdown was not revealed last night. The cause of Santiago’s death has yet to be determined. There have been no arrests.

How does the police department know that this young man was beaten by 10 men, specifically, but have made no arrests? Either way another life has been lost to nonsense. SMH … R.I.P.
