Police: 3 men fatally beat teen on Trenton street

    Authorities say an 18-year-old recent immigrant from Guatemala has been beaten to death by three men on a street in Trenton.

    The Times of Trenton reports that the man was standing outside of a house where he was staying with relatives in the Chambersburg section of the city when the three men approached him around 8:15 p.m.

    Trenton Police Lt. Mark Kieffer says the teen’s head may have struck the sidewalk or a concrete porch during the assault and that the suspects fled on foot in separate directions.

    The victim died shortly after arriving at Capital Health Regional Medical Center.
