PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A mother and father may be charged after a carjacking in North Philadelphia. Police say the couple and a group of people beat the alleged suspect so badly on Thursday night that he later died in what people from the neighborhood called “street justice.”
The victim has been identified as 54-year-old Erik Hood. Police say Hood had at least 30 prior arrests with many of them narcotics related.
After the children’s father got Hood out of the car, others in the neighborhood joined in and started beating and kicking Hood. He later died in the hospital.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Police say a man killed a suspect who carjacked his girlfriend outside of a North Philadelphia pizza shop on Thursday night. The couple’s three young children were inside the stolen vehicle.
It happened near 29th and Dauphin Streets.
Police say the 25-year-old woman left her car running with three children inside when she went into the pizza shop, where her 25-year-old boyfriend works. That’s when the 54-year-old suspect got in the vehicle.
The couple was able to chase down the vehicle, which police say got stuck in traffic at 29th and York Streets. They pulled the suspect out, who then fled the scene on foot. Police say the boyfriend caught up with the suspect when he and other men from the neighborhood began to punch and kick the suspect.
