Four men have been ordered to stand trial in Pennsylvania in the death of a Somali immigrant cab driver in Pittsburgh.
Prosecutors allege the group wanted to rob a pizza delivery driver on the night of February 21 but due to the late hour opted for a cab driver. Authorities say the men punched, kicked and beat 31-year-old Ramadhan Mohamed, who died later at a hospital.
A judge yesterday ordered the suspects held without bond on homicide and other charges. They are expected to be arraigned in June.
When he died, Mohamed was married with a 2-year-old son and his wife was pregnant. The Islamic Center of Pittsburgh called for a hate crime investigation. Police said they found no evidence the beating was motivated by Mohamed's nationality, race or religion.
