Well this is absolutely horrible. A 76-year old Southeast D.C. man died earlier this week after being attacked and beaten by two young men, WJLA is reporting.

Clarence Dews was walking along Martin Luther King Avenue when two guys ran him down with a bicycle before slamming him over the head with a club. He died a few days later from blunt force trauma.

Dews was a fixture in his southeast D.C neighborhood, living in a house there for 50 years. The retired federal employee and widower often went for walks in the evening. But on July 20 around 10:30 p.m., just feet from his home, two young thugs jumped him. One ran him down with a bike.

It took five days for Dews to die from his injuries. D.C. police are looking for the two suspects. This is the sort of crime that just boggles the mind.
