CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A mother and her two sons are accused of beating a 49-year-old man to death during a home invasion, police say.

Holly Hentges, 41, Nicholas Franklin, 21, and Hentges 16-year-old son are all charged with aggravated murder in the June 18 beating death of Charles Foster, who lives about a mile south of the trio's home.

The 16-year-old boy is also charged in Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court with aggravated burglary and kidnapping.

Hentges and the teen were arrested Thursday by U.S. Marshals at a home in the 2100 block of West 98th Street. Franklin was arrested at a home in the 1300 block of West 93rd Street, the marshals said.

Police have not released a motive for the attack.

The trio about 11:45 p.m. June 18 forced their way into Foster's home in the 3100 block of West 97th Street in the city's West Boulevard neighborhood.

The 16-year-old had a gun when the trio attacked Foster, according to court records.

Foster's fiancee initially told police that Foster was jumped by someone on his way home from buying cigarettes at the gas station, police reports say.

Police found Foster inside the home unconscious, lying in a pool of blood with cuts and bruises to his face, police reports say. He was taken to MetroHealth, where he died.

The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner ruled his death a homicide from blunt force trauma.

Hentges and her sons left the home after the beating and went to a nearby convenience store, where they were captured on surveillance cameras, according to court records.

Hentges was convicted in 2002 for endangering children. In that case, she allowed a man living with her to sell crack cocaine near a child, though court records do not say which child. She was given a suspended six-month jail sentence.

She also has been convicted of misdemeanors for disorderly conduct and for allowing her juvenile kids to be out past curfew. Franklin has a juvenile court record that includes misdemeanor convictions for drug possession and assault.
