OMAHA, Neb. -
A 19-year-old accused of beating and raping an elderly woman who later died will now face a murder charge.
Prosecutors said Sergio Martinez-Perez beat and sexually assaulted 93-year-old Louise Sollowin in her home Sunday. Sollowin died Wednesday.

Martinez-Perez is charged with first-degree murder. Charges were dropped for first-degree sexual assault and first-degree assault and burglary.
A judge denied him bond on Friday.
Autopsy results showed that Sollowin's cause of death was blunt force trauma.
Sollowin's family remembers her as a strong woman with many stories and talents.
“She loved her family and her family loved her,” said Teresa Hartzell, the victim’s granddaughter. “She was all about family.”
“(She was) a wonderful seamstress. We all got pajamas from her for Christmas, all the grandkids. She made her children’s clothes,” Hartzell said.
Sollowin's daughter found her suffering in her home Sunday morning.
“She heard my grandmother, and she went in the bedroom, her grandmother called, ‘Help me. Help me,'” Hartzell said.
Hartzell said her mother pushed Martinez-Perez away from her and was going to help her grandmother and saw that it was serious, ran into the other room and called police.
Hartzell and her husband arrived moments later, seeing the man police arrested.
“I was there when the police took him out and he just glared,” she said. “I don’t think there’s any words for it. I just can’t understand why someone would do that. Doesn’t make any sense.”
Prosecutors said Martinez-Perez admitted to the assault and rape, saying he was mad at women after a night of drinking.
Joe Sollowin, Louise's son, said Perez stole precious years from his mother, and the family is demanding justice.
“I want him to get the electric chair. That's what I want. Of course that can't bring my mother back, but he doesn't deserve anything,” he said.

Joe said he is haunted by the pain his mother suffered.
"I still can't get the thought of seeing what happened -- beating her up. That's not how you want her to go and that's not right,” he said.
Martinez-Perez, who had been working as a roofer, has no ties to Omaha and no known relatives in the metro.
Investigators said Martinez-Perez is not a legal resident of the United States, and that his country of origin is not yet clear.
The victim’s family said a detective told them Perez has been in the country for about four months.

how many time dose it need to be said ? "CLOSE THE BORDERS and boost border patrol" and if this douch is here illegaly then he has no rights to our legal system.. shoot him in the head at the seen of the crime and be done with it...no attorny's, no court cost, no cost to house him in a American prison ...millions $$ saved.
no media outrage ? no words from obama ? well she was 93 and probably white and sergio is a ilegal mexican and we don't to upset obama's plan to open borders and have million of money sucking dead beats over shadowed by the actions of one ilegal man who was just here working so hard to better his life....right ?
yea I'm pissed and went on a rant.
Godfather.
My thinking- this is not news because they want the populace to believe "this could not happen to you. "
...or... What you said.
Sometimes i wonder if the world is being run by really smart people, who are putting us on.
Or by imbeciles who mean it.
- Mark Twain
or- it just wouldn't create the rattings the death of a young black kid killed by an adult white/mexican would ?
man the news media in general sucks.
Godfather.
My thinking is that the nation doesn't hear of such a brutal tale because they have their own local tale to tell- they are so commonplace. The local area has heard about this for sure.
I watch the Seattle areas news on occasion when it comes on right after a game or something and every time... the lead story is someone getting murdered in brutal fashion or kids missing.
This isn't at all about keeping the public in the dark. This is all about a dangerous and violent society.
For it to be an 'outrage'... this would have to be of the extreme sort. As awful as it is... it doesn't fit the 'extreme' category. With this said... what's with the lesser charges? This piece of shit should be frying (as the survivors are crying for I might add!).
As for frying...too good of a consequence.
And we do live in a violent place where evil can meet you.
But i do believe there is more good...we are just not media worthy and do not publish our good deeds.
Fitting, indeed! Good one, Mr. Clemens!

NYC welfare food is shipped in barrels to the Dominican Republic - then sold on the black market
By ISABEL VINCENT and KATE BRIQUELET in NY and JOSE ERNESTO DEVAREZ in Santiago, Dominican Republic
Food-stamp fraud in New York has turned into foreign aid — to black-market profiteers in the Dominican Republic.
Last week, The Post revealed how New Yorkers on welfare are buying food with their benefit cards and shipping it in blue barrels to poor relatives in the Caribbean.
But not everyone is giving the taxpayer-funded fare to starving children abroad. The Post last week found two people hawking barrels of American products for a profit on the streets of Santiago.
“It’s a really easy way to make money, and it doesn’t cost me anything,” a seller named Maria-Teresa said Friday.
The 47-year-old Bronx native told The Post she scalps barrels of Frosted Flakes and baby formula bought with welfare money in the United States.
Maria-Teresa said she gets new barrels every few weeks from her sister, who buys everything at a Western Beef on Prospect Avenue near East 165th Street in Foxhurst.
The scamming sibling pays $75 per barrel to transport the items to the DR through Mott Haven’s Luciano Shipping. Sometimes the family fraudsters take advantage of a special: three barrels for the price of two.
Maria-Teresa said she uses some of the products but vends the rest out of her Santiago home, providing markdowns of $1 to $2 compared to what her buyers would pay in local shops.
“I don’t know how much of a business it is, but I know a lot of people are doing it,” she said.
The black-market maven even takes her customers’ requests for hot-ticket items. Her best-sellers include a 19-ounce box of Frosted Flakes, which goes for $6.50 at Dominican supermarkets. She sells it for $2 less — after her sister buys it on sale for $2.99.
But because the sister uses her Electronic Benefit Transfer card, she actually pays nothing — taxpayers foot the $2.99.
Maria-Teresa also offers a 24-ounce Kellogg’s Corn Flakes box for $2, compared to the $4 Dominican counterpart. The Kellogg’s variety costs $2.99 on sale at Western Beef.
A 23-ounce container of powdered Enfamil baby formula goes for $25 in the United States and $19 in Santiago but Maria-Teresa sells it for $15. “People want the best quality for the price, so they buy the formula made in the US,” she said.
The average monthly wage in Dominican Republic is about 7,000 pesos, or just $167, and that’s why the black market has become so profitable, Maria-Teresa said.
And the food-stamp fraud doesn’t stop there. She said her sister has Bronx grocers ring up bogus $250 transactions with her EBT card.
In exchange, the stores hand her $200 cash and pocket the rest. No goods are exchanged. Instead, Maria-Teresa’s sister sends the money to Santiago — when she’s not spending it on liquor or other nonfood items.
“We do it all the time, and a lot of people do this,” Maria-Teresa said. “It’s a way of laundering money, but it’s easier because it’s free.”
Jean, another public-assistance cheat in Santiago, told The Post he has peddled welfare food in Santiago since getting deported from New York in 2010.
A thirtysomething Haitian national, he said his sister in Queens uses her EBT card to purchase food before shipping it to him from Long Island City.
“Every other month, I receive the barrels from my sister in New York City,” he told The Post. “Whatever I don’t need, I sell.
“My sister uses food stamps to buy most of the things she sends me,” Jean added. He says the barrels are filled with cereal, baby formula, juices, olive oil and canned soup.
He said his sister uses Long Island City’s Santiago Cargo Express, where barrels full of food cost $100 to ship to the DR.
When The Post found Jean, he was lugging an empty barrel down the street and hoping to sell it to a friend for $35. Many Dominicans then use the containers to store water for their homes.
So...i must watch in order to understand.
Brok Junkermeier, 19, was charged with intentional second-degree murder, without premeditation, in Kandiyohi County District Court.
Two other teens , Devon Jenkins, 16, and 17-year-old Robert Warwick – the victim’s grandson – were charged as juveniles. They each face two counts of aiding and abetting murder.
According to the charging documents, Warwick was the mastermind of the deadly burglary. He believed that his grandmother, Lila Warwick, had more than $40,000 in a safe and they had been planning to kill her and steal her money for some time.
yuck
So you understand the concept of mass manipulation? Because if you actually wanted real news, you'd shut the mass media OFF.
define "mass media" please, no one media station is better than the other,for all I have seen they all have their own agenda....and for the most part that equates to money and they all tell you what they want you hear.
Godfather.
mass medium
noun, plural mass media.
any of the means of communication, as television or newspapers, that reach very large numbers of people.
We would be fools to not monitor what the mass population bases their decisions on.
...sure glad this was not three white kids beating up a black kid.
GULFPORT — Three teenagers were arrested Wednesday after police said they beat a 13-year-old boy on a Pinellas County school bus, stole his money and fled through an emergency exit.
The boys, all 15, face charges of aggravated battery following the Tuesday attack on bus No. 702, which was captured on surveillance video, Gulfport police said. One of the teens faces an additional charge of robbery for swiping the younger, smaller victim's cash. The Times is not using the names of the suspects because of their age.
Police are recommending a charge of child neglect against the bus driver for failing to properly help the child, but have forwarded their findings to the State Attorney's Office for consideration, said Gulfport Sgt. Thomas Woodman. The name of the driver won't be released until the investigation is complete.

The bus was taking students home from Lealman Intermediate School summer classes Tuesday afternoon when the teens attacked the boy, kicking and stomping on him at least 23 times, police said. The victim's arm was broken.
The bus driver radioed for help and stopped at 20th Avenue S and 51st Street, but the older boys had fled before police arrived.
During the beating, officers said other students shot video on cellphones and uploaded footage to YouTube.
The victim told officers one of his attackers had offered to sell him drugs in a school bathroom earlier that day, police said, so he reported it to school officials.
