Oklahoma City police are reportedly searching for two more teenagers involved in a brutal attack on a homeless man who was left for dead.
According to court documents obtained by KFOR, on May 26, a homeless man named Tilman Shannon was thrown and beaten to death by a large group of teenagers.
Surveillance video captured the entire ordeal and showed several teens yelling and threatening Shannon from the vehicle.
Shannon tries to run away but is beaten near a dumpster at the other end of the parking lot.

Oklahoma City Police Sergeant Dillion Quirk told KFOR that the most shocking behavior in the attack was discovered on social media, as one of the suspects, Veronica Benavente, 19, streamed the attack on her Instagram page.
According to the arrest affidavit, Benavente was heard shouting racial slurs and racial profanity at Shannon while the group carried out the beating.
Police said about nine teenagers were involved in the attack.
