Carjacker beaten to death after stealing vehicle with small kids inside, police say

PHILADELPHIA — A man was killed after he stole a car that had three young children inside, CBS affiliate KYW reports.

The carjacking happened Thursday night outside a north Philadelphia pizza shop after the 25-year-old mom went inside where her 25-year-old boyfriend worked.

The mom left the engine running for the young children inside the car, including a 7-month-old, 1-year-old, and a 5-year-old. After the mom walked inside, police say a 54-year-old man hopped in the vehicle and drove off with it.

He got stuck in traffic, which allowed the couple to catch up to him. The suspect was pulled out of the vehicle and ran away.

The boyfriend reportedly caught up with the suspect, and he and other men from the neighborhood started to punch and kick him.

Absolutely charge! MOM too. Shes the one that left the car running with children inside. Shes the one that put them in that danger.

Mom should be charged for breaking the law. You don't leave a car running and you certainly don't leave your kids in the car so you can go socialize. Yes the person that killed the carjacker should be charged as well. I'm not saying the carjacker is innocent but once he got out of the car and ran he was no longer a threat to the children and should have been held til the police got there not killed by someone that thought they were a judge. Had he beat him to get him out of the car it could have been different.

You're the dumb ass if you think it is ok to leave children that young unattended anywhere and especially in a running vehicle. You want vigilante justice move to Mexico our country was not set up that way.
