The two teens who allegedly set a man on fire inside his own home in upstate New York last week are now facing murder charges after the man died of his injuries Tuesday.

The boys – ages 14 and 16 – were initially charged with first-degree assault and second-degree arson after 53-year-old Steven Amenhauser was doused with a flammable liquid and intentionally set on fire while he sat in a chair in his apartment Friday, the Democrat & Chronicle reported, citing police.

Amenhauser ran out of his apartment on fire about five minutes after he returned from a corner store at 12:30 p.m., Rochester Police Capt. Frank Umbrino told reporters at a news conference.

He suffered second- and third-degree burns to more than 70% of his body and was rushed to the burn unit at Strong Memorial Hospital, where he died of his injuries shortly after 4 a.m. on Tuesday, Umbrino said.

Following the 53-year-old's death, the teens were each additionally charged with second-degree murder, the paper reported.


The teens were apprehended at the scene on Friday after giving police false names, Umbrino said.

Fox News is not identifying the suspects because they are minors.

Police are working to determine a motive. Umbrino said there was no evidence that drugs were involved and that he couldn't comment on any potential gang involvement, Rochester First reported.


Umbrino released more details about Amenhauser in Tuesday's briefing, saying he had no living family to speak for him.

Amenhauser was adopted and grew up in Texas, Umbrino said. His wife had died years before and his longtime girlfriend died in October. He lived alone in his Rochester apartment.


"Seeing the pictures of this guy and knowing he has no family around just to speak for him, this is one I'll remember," Umbrino said.

The two teens remain in custody. The 14-year-old will be prosecuted as a juvenile offender in Youth Part, while the 16-year-old will be prosecuted as an adolescent offender in the Youth Part of Superior Court, the Monroe County District Attorney's Office told WHEC-TV in an email.

Youth Part is a criminal court where offenders of juvenile or adolescent status are subject to criminal liability as adults, the DA said.

The Rochester Police Department did not immediately return Fox News' request for comment.

Likely being raised by momma, have no clue who daddy is, momma likely doesn't know either. Likely NEVER saw the inside of a Church unless they were stealing, never heard a Preacher, never seen a Bible. I can almost see and hear the lil darlins laughing as they watch him burn and hear the screams.

 Somebody, ANYBODY, tell me WHY these animals should be allowed to live?? ANYBODY?? CHARLIE.

  Show them the very same love that they showed him !  ....Seems obvious to me..that these actions are a result of Johnson's "war on poverty", which broke up families and destroyed traditional values..leaving a disorganized jungle behind.

If the races had been reversed this would have been all you would find on any tv talk show or MSM news. Riots and looting would have been happening all over the country. If two white teens had burned a handicapped black man to death all hell would have broken loose everywhere.

They will no doubt conclude that it was systemic racism that caused the two monsters to act in that manner!

  I don't know what their respective races were.  However, if they were of another race, certainly the leftist's "hate crime" charge should be added.
  Actually, I think the "hate crime" category is just another leftist lie.  It must be obvious that if someone murders another, especially if they burn them to death...I think we can assume there was a certain amount of animosity involved!

If convicted, they will walk out scot free, with a clean record, when they turn 18.

And it's too bad the man doesn't have relatives who would kill the monsters as soon as they are released.

The victim was white, the animals were black. Surprise, surprise.

  Although the names would suggest that they were black, there is no clear statement of race in the news article.  Interesting, how cowardly today's "free press" has become.
  I can see where the assumption is arrived at, because if the two "youts" were white, I suspect that would have been brought to the readers attention.
