5 girls beat a 64-year-old disabled man to death in D.C. in 2003. One of them, a 13-year-old, was sentenced to 7 years. One of the teen suspects said they attacked and beat the man to death because they were bored.
A 15-year-old from the group was sentenced to 3 years for assault with a weapon. She admitted it was her idea to attack the elderly man who had cancer.
A 13-year-old girl convicted of the beating death of 64-year-old disabled Washington, D.C., resident Reggie Brown has been sentenced to confinement until she turns 21 years old. This effectively means she will serve approximately seven years in a secure juvenile facility. The sentencing took place on December 4, 2024, following a guilty verdict for second-degree murder. The judge described the crime as "horrific" and noted the girl's need for extensive services. The girl apologized in court to Brown's family before sentencing. This case has drawn significant attention due to the brutality of the crime, which was committed because the group of teenagers, aged 12 to 15 at the time, were "bored" and looking for something to do. Reggie Brown was assaulted on October 17, 2023, and died at the scene from his injuries.
