Zemir Begic and his family moved to the United States in 1996 after fleeing Bosnia. Zemir loved America, he had a good job, a lot of friends, and he was married six months ago. Early Sunday morning Zemir was murdered by a group of teenagers at an intersection in St. Louis. They surrounded his car and began banging on it with the hammers. He got out of his car to confront them, but they attacked him and beat him, leaving him fatally injured, and later he died in the hospital. There is a large Bosnian community in St. Louis, and they reacted to this incident by asking for more police protection. They also held protests.They came to America to escape the murder and destruction in Bosnia, his sister said that she would have never imagined that someone in her family would be murdered in the United States. The police did find three suspects, they were between the ages of 15 to 17 years old. This is so sad for Zemir's family and the Bosnia community and the teenagers who killed Zemir will be charged with first degree murder. Now their lives are ruined and Zemir's family has to suffer because of what they did.
