A teenager suspected of beating to death an elderly World War II victim was encouraged to surrender today after wanted posters were issued for him.
Delbert Belton, 88, a veteran and pensioner, died from his injuries Thursday morning following an assault outside an Eagles lodge in Spokane, Wash.
Belton was "severely beaten to face and head," said police spokeswoman Monique Cotton. Belton is white and the assailants were black, but police say they do not believe the crime was racially motivated.
On Thursday, police apprehended one of the two juvenile suspects. Due to his age, police have not released the teen's name, but have confirmed he is 16 years old. That boy has been charged with first-degree murder, and first-degree robbery. He has yet to appear in court or enter a plea.

The police acted foolishly.
People can, and will, form their own opinions.
It seems like some are more concerned about sending rodeo clowns to sensitivity training...
“Belton is white and the assailants were black, but police say they do not believe the crime was racially motivated. “
Oh, come on. Just give up. No one believes this anymore.
Of course, that never stopped Pravda and Izvestia printing for all those years...(Ironically, Pravda now reads like the center-to-right Chicago Tribune of 1930-1970).
Pravda has more credibility than the NYT.
REMEMBER SHORTY!
Racially motivated?
Why do we care?
The behavior was a crime. He must face justice.
JUSTICE FOR SHORTY!
Real tough guys, these burr heads, when they’re thumping on an 88 year old dude. I’s like to have seen them try it when Shorty was a 19 year old Marine.
Have you ever heard of blacks killing other blacks for no reason? I know there is a lot of gang crime and grudge fights but as bad as these are murdering people for no reason at all is even more depraved. It seems that blacks save this treament for whites.
“Belton is white and the assailants were black, but police say they do not believe the crime was racially motivated.”
But, just to be sure, police checked with Jesse and Al, and, sure enough, it’s not racially motivated.
The police and courts take their orders from Eric the race mongerer Holder, so they do as they are told to do. Therer is no rule of law anymore in America. It is rule of Holder, et al.
Can anyone tell me when was the last time a black on white attack was race motivated?
REMEMBER SHORTY...and Chris Lane.
Someone needs to come out with a sweatshirt for us crack’as
