Three teenagers have been arrested for beating an Ohio father of three to death.
Columbus police say the incident happened at 7 p.m. on Dec. 6. The three young men allegedly engaged the victim, 53-year-old Donnie Smith, inside a Kroger grocery store, WSXY-TV reported.
The suspects were asked to leave by security after getting into an altercation with patrons inside the store, and then the fight continued outside, police said. Smith was taken to a hospital in critical condition, where he later died.
One of the friends who was with Smith at the time told WSXY the group was "trying to pick on whoever they could."

Smith died two weeks after the assault, the media outlet reported.
