PITTSBURGH — A 16-year-old Pittsburgh boy has died days after police say two fellow group home residents severely beat him.

Nicholas Grant died Tuesday night at UPMC Mercy. He had been on life support after the attack Saturday at the Circle C Group Home in Carrick.

Police initially charged a 15-year-old and 16-year-old with aggravated assault and attempted homicide. Additional charges have not yet been filed.

The boys remained jailed Monday in lieu of $100,000 bail each and could not be reached for comment. Online court records did not list their lawyers. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Friday

Police say the teens punched and kicked Grant, put him in a chokehold and struck him in the stomach and ribs with a vacuum cleaner.

Public welfare officials are investigating.

Cleaners charged with stealing data

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh police say two cleaning ladies stole confidential information from the department's credit union.

Bonnie Hendzel and Mary Tumminello were each charged Tuesday with 32 counts of identity theft.

They were jailed in lieu of $50,000 bail. Online court records didn't include information on their lawyers.

Police say the 50-year-old Hendzel and 27-year-old Tumminello considered using the stolen Social Security numbers and other data to open credit card accounts and buy and sell merchandise, but thought better of it.

Police say Hendzel turned over 32 stolen files Monday out of fear after officers searched her home.

The credit union says nothing suggests Hendzel and Tumminello used the files to commit identity theft. It'll provide affected customers with a year of credit monitoring.
