St. Louis Man Dies in a Brutal Beating – Where Is The Media?

St. Louis Man Dies in a Brutal Beating – Where Is The Media?

When Michael Brown was shot and killed in nearby Ferguson, it was national news, and has continued to be for months.

Early Sunday morning, a brutal murder took place in St. Louis, and the only media covering the story is local. Zemir Begic, a 32 year old Bosnian immigrant, was beaten to death by at least four juveniles. Read the horrific details for yourself:

Police said Begic was in his vehicle about 1:15 a.m. in the 4200 block of Itaska when several juveniles approached and began damaging his car. Police said Begic got out to confront the juveniles, who began yelling at him and hitting him with hammers.

Begic, 32, who lived in the 4200 block of Miami Street, suffered injuries to his head, abdomen, face and mouth. He died at St. Louis University Hospital.

Two of the suspected killers are in custody:

Two were caught and taken into juvenile custody. Police are still searching for two others, a 16-year-old black male and a 15-year-old Hispanic.

The two who have been arrested have also been identified as a 15 year old and a 16 year old. Teenagers. Teenagers who were apparently roaming the streets of St. Louis late Saturday night and early into Sunday morning, who were spoiling for some kind of fight.

Seldin Dzananovic, 24, said the teens with the hammers approached him farther north on Gravois about an hour before the attack on Begic. He said he was able to fight them off, suffering only cuts to his hands and neck.

“I’m just lucky,” he said. “God is on my side.”

Zemir Begic, who emigrated to the United States in 1996, leaves behind a grieving family, including his wife of six months, Arijana.
