Two teenagers from California, ages 14 and 15, allegedly “stomped” a 66-year-old man to death outside a church — leaving and returning multiple times “to take turns” repeatedly attacking him before swiping his clothes and fleeing, prosecutors say.

Davy Glen Pichel, of Oxnard, was found battered and partially unclothed outside St. Anthony’s Catholic Church on the morning of June 5 after being beaten the night before, according to a press release from the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office.

The two teens allegedly set upon the local man while he was sleeping. Surveillance footage captured by church cameras shows the alleged attack unfold, per the DA’s office.

“The video shows the teens approach Mr. Pichel as he was seated near the church side door next to his wheelchair,” the office said in its release. The teens allegedly beat and stomped the victim. They briefly walked away, but then allegedly returned to take turns to stomp him again.”

Pichel said that the teens returned “repeatedly” to abuse the victim. On the third attack, the teens allegedly unleashed one last flurry of violence before removing Pichel’s clothes and “fleeing the scene,” according to prosecutors. A church volunteer found Pichel near the side entrance with “significant injuries to the head and facial area” and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
