KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — Two construction workers who used sledgehammers to fatally beat a homeless man are heading to prison for what was described as a prolonged, brutal assault peppered with pleas for mercy.
Lashaun Keith begged for his life as the two, after a night of drinking, pounded away with sledgehammers “to teach him a lesson,” court records show.
Keith, 33, was living beneath a bridge undergoing repair work near Kalamazoo’s Wings Event Center in 2022.
