On Wednesday night, around 8 p.m., 88-year-old Delbert Belton was waiting in his car outside of Spokane, Washington’s Eagles Lodge. This was where he met his caregiver every week to play pool, according to Fox’s Spokane affiliate.

As he waited in his car, he was attacked by two teens. When his caregiver arrived, the two suspects fled and Belton was found unconscious and bleeding. He was taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center, where he died early Thursday morning.

5. Racial Tension is High, and Some are Calling for Vigilante Justice

6. There is a ‘We the People’ White House Petition

A petition was created this morning on We the People, the White Houses’ public petitioning website, for President Obama to “publicly address the brutal murder of decorated WW2 Hero Delbert “Shorty” Belton allegedly by two teens in Spokane WA.”

The petition already has 315 signatures, and if it gets 100,000 after 30 days, President Obama or his administration will have to give a response.

7. His Nephew Shared a Bloody Picture & Said ‘Justice Will Be Served’

Belton’s nephew, Allen Hills, was horrified to learn of the attack. When he first read about it he didn’t know that he was related to the victim but the nature of incident moved him so much that he shared the story through social media. A few hours later, his mother called him to say that it was his uncle, Shorty, who was the victim. He told KREM:

I couldn’t wrap my brain around it as it was. Two hours later I get a phone call from my mom telling me it was my great-uncle… You never know when a random, senseless act of violence is going to take someone you care about.

On his Facebook page today, Hills shared a picture of his uncle’s blood on the pavement:

Hills also posted this comment:
