She points to last year's beating death of Charles Amos as proof that the homeless need safe, secluded places to sleep. Amos was found dead last July, police say, after he was assaulted by two teenage boys behind the Buckroe Beach Market. The boys were later charged with murder in connection to Amos' death. One of the boys told police that they intended only to assault and rob Amos, not kill him, according to Daily Press archives.
