Immigrant Beaten to Death In Broad Daylight In Brooklyn (VIDEO)

A 37-year-old man said to be of Indian descent was beaten to death in the Bensonhurst neighborhood of Brooklyn yesterday afternoon at 5:30PM.

The beating occurred in front of a beauty salon on 84th St, near 20th Ave, and near a bodega. The man's first name was Jayanth, according to his roommate, but his last name is unknown.

The man's roommate said he had been in the country about six months, and had lost his job at KFC a couple months ago, but it's unclear whether his termination was connected to the attack.

Police investigated a white BMW for clues, but made no arrests, according to WPIX News.

The man was rushed to Coney Island Hospital but died from his injuries.

The motive for the crime is unclear, but police do not believe it was a hate crime.
