Man Beaten to Death After Stealing Car With Kids Inside, Police Say
A car thief who stole a vehicle with children inside was chased down and beaten to death by the kids’ father and other bystanders Thursday night, Philadelphia police said.
The violent ordeal began around 9 p.m. when a 25-year-old woman parked her Hyundai sedan outside a pizza shop on 29th and Dauphin streets in North Philadelphia.
The woman left her three young children inside the running car as she went inside to visit her boyfriend, who was an employee at the restaurant and the father of two of the kids, police said.
Suddenly, a 54-year-old man, later identified by police as Eric Hood, jumped into her car and sped off with the children, who are between the ages of 7 months and 5 years old, strapped inside, according to investigators.
The woman’s boyfriend ran after Hood, who drove about half a block before getting stuck in traffic at 29th and York streets, officials said.
The kids’ father then pulled him out of the car and beat Hood as other bystanders in the area joined the attack, according to investigators.
Medics responded to the scene and found the car thief unconscious with severe injuries to the head and face. Hood was taken to Temple University Hospital and pronounced dead shortly after 10 p.m.
The woman and her boyfriend were taken into police custody for questioning. Neither has been charged.
Police on Friday said they are reviewing Instragram video of the beating and looking for other witnesses. Police were also waiting on toxicology reports to determine if Hood had drugs in his system.
According to officials, Hood had at least 24 prior arrests and convictions.
None of the children were injured during the ordeal.

So there is justice.
But who in hell leaves small kids alone in a running vehicle? I mean, three kids, under five, alone in a running vehicle is a recipe for disaster in any number of ways. The mother – if you can call it that – should go to jail for child endangerment.
Llpoh, that is common sense. It is in short supply. I think we will see more of this as time goes on. Authorities who claim the monopoly of force fail to protect. Examples are Walgreens and WaWa plundering. When people can’t get justice from the system, they will get it themselves.
Yes, because in the most incarcerated nation in the world, one more shitskin in a cage will turn things around!
Well, what say we just drop them down a meatgrinder then. We cannot let this shit continue. There are answers. It is just that those answers involve actually punishing those that need punishing.
Do you have any idea what a standard kneejerk barking seal you are? We address crime.Many places in the world cannot be bothered to even record the names of murder victems. Would you like to live there?
Here’s a thought, why don’t “WE” quit paying 7th grade dropout negresses to breed?
llpoh,
that’s bs–i bet there’s lots of us here who had moms & dads who left us alone while they shopped,dropped something off,etc.–
Maybe 30+ years ago, and not in a black majority area.
It will be interesting to see what, if any, charges will be brought against the people who beat this guy to death.
Prediction=none. It’s called “misdemeanor murder”.
The guy was beaten by a mob….who you gonna charge?
It is what it is…
Egggggxzactly!!!
another case where it is what we made it applies.
All involved must be peoples of color. I never saw the word “lynching”. Who GAF, with a typical overbred negress mother, the children may have been better off with the car thief.
The people that beat him were also black, yes. Otherwise this would be a nation wide scandal with riots brewing.
We’ve been taught that only the state can administer justice. Nay nay. Vigilante justice works just fine. Occasionally the wrong guy gets screwed but likely more so with state just-us. The long suffering taxpayers of Philly have gotten a reprieve and this loser will never bother anyone again.
Take note nigerians. The only ones now who can drain your sewer is you. Whitie has been neutered. Just like the idiots you elected wanted it.
And yet, he may have inadvertently saved those kids’ lives. This is the time of year when kids are baked to death in hot cars. Who knows how long she intended to stay with her boo, it only takes 5 minutes to kill the kids.
She left the car running.
24 prior arrest and convictions.
Now dead.
Going forward, consider it future cost savings for the taxpayers and Judicial system.
