Teenager given 7 years in youth correctional facility for beating to death a Salem homeless man

When Amber Mikolas saw her father for the first time in four years, he was beaten and bruised, clinging to life in a hospital bed. He died soon after.

That was a year ago and Mikolas recently described her father Russell as a “64-year-old, disabled homeless man.” She recalled playing basketball with him as a kid, and his bouts with addiction.

On Thursday, the teenager who beat the man was convicted of second-degree murder.
