Two western Pennsylvania community organizers with a local Stop the Violence group have been charged with severely beating a former room-mate.
Nikole Ardeno and Emanuel Velez accused their former roommate of stealing their property, and allegedly punched and kicked him in the street until he had seizures. The victim was also was a member of the anti violence group.
Arrested moments later, Ardeno was still wearing the same “Stop the Violence” T-shirt she had on the night before when she coordinated a march protesting two recent shootings, Washington Police Chief Chris Luppino said.
The victim, Joshua Magraff, also is a community organizer with the anti-violence group, and shared an apartment with the suspects until recently.
