(Fox 8) An 89-year-old man who was beaten with a hammer during an attack in his Kenner home has died, according to Kenner Police.
Phillip Lynch, along with his wife, Anita, were attacked last month by a 16-year-old juvenile in their Teton Street home in the Woodlake subdivision.
Kenner Police Lieutenant Brian McGregor said authorities will wait until the Jefferson Parish Coroner’s office determines an official cause of death to consider upgrading the charges against the teen.
The teen is accused of using a hammer to beat the elderly couple inside their home.
