Thornton police looking for info on beating death of 16-year-old
February 16th, 2010
Thornton is a very safe city and we tend to avoid much of the high profile crime that affects other municipalities. Unfortunately though, that isn’t always the case and I want to draw attention to a heinous crime that was committed early Monday morning.
In summary, following a disagreement at a party, Nathan Bozonier, 16, was run down by a car and subsequently beaten to death with a bat by a group of youths.
According to the Thornton PD, the attackers were Latino males between 17 and 23 years old. The car is a light-colored four-door sedan with a darker-colored front fender.
Please be on the lookout for this vehicle. If you know anything about this, please contact the Thornton Police Department at 720-977-5150 or Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867!
These people need to be brought to justice and forced to pay the price for their horrid acts.
Update @ 4:15pm: 9News has new information about the crime and the vehicle. Get the details here.
Denver Post: Thornton police looking for witnesses in beating death of 16-year-old boy
Awesome job Thornton Blue !
More names connected will surface..we are still small town. The sad part is a child is lost.
It’s things like this that give Latinos a bad name..they embarrass themselves and they embarrass me. This will just add to the quiet racist problems we are experiencing in Thornton because of the recent increase of Mexican Nationals moving here.
I hope this gives lessons to all.
