Who Are Zayvion Perry and Adriel Riley Jr? NY Teens, 16 and 14, Burn Lonely Mentally Ill Man, 53, to Death
17th March 2021
According to a report in WHAM 13 News, the two teenagers were identified as Zayvion Perry, 16, and 14-year-old Adriel Riley, Jr. Perry was initially charged with first-degree assault and attempted arson, and Riley with second-degree arson and assault. The murder charges were filed after Amenhauser’s death on Tuesday. The two of them are now facing charges of second-degree murder in Amenhauser’s death. The race of the two teenagers was not revealed initially, but it was outed by Rochester journalist and radio host Bob Lonsberry, who quoted law enforcement sources to report that the teens even instructed the victim during the incident to inform authorities that the perpetrators were two White men. This report was later confirmed by a police source to The Daily Wire.
Lonsberry also said, “In a world where everything anymore seems to be about race, nobody wanted to mention the fact that the teens where Black and the old man was White, and they watched him burn a bit, after they sprayed him and lit him, and they told him to say it was two White guys who did it,” and he added, “Nobody will ask if it was a hate crime.”
