   A second teenage boy was arrested early Monday in the fatal   
   beating of an 88-year-old World War II veteran outside a lounge   
   in Spokane, Wash., police said.   
      
   According to officials, the case began when calls came in to   
   police shortly after 8 p.m. Wednesday, with witnesses reporting   
   an assault outside Eagle’s Lodge, a popular gathering spot that   
   offers bingo, poker and pool.   
      
   Officers arriving on the scene found Delbert Belton inside his   
   car with serious head injuries. He was transported to a local   
   hospital, where he died, police said.   
      
   Monday’s arrest came several days after police released images   
   of two possible suspects in the beating, obtained from   
   surveillance video taken from local businesses.   
      
   One teenager was taken into custody around 10 p.m. Thursday, but   
   authorities had been searching for the second suspect until his   
   arrest around 3 a.m. Monday. In a statement, police said the   
   suspect was arrested “without incident” in a basement apartment   
   at 500 West Montgomery Ave. in Spokane.   
      
   News reports have named both suspects, but Los Angeles Times   
   policy is not to identify juveniles accused of crimes unless   
   they are being tried as adults.   
      
   A probable-cause affidavit has been filed with the Spokane   
   County Juvenile Court, requesting charges of first-degree murder   
   and first-degree robbery for the suspect arrested Thursday,   
   officials said. In the statement on the latest arrest, Spokane   
   police said the second suspect was taken into custody under the   
   same circumstances.   
      
   The statement said, “Several other people ... have been arrested   
   for rendering criminal assistance.” Spokane Police Chief Frank   
   Straub is expected to hold a news conference on the case later   
   Monday morning.   
      
   Meanwhile, the killing has stunned friends and family and sent   
   shock waves through the city. Belton served in the Army during   
   World War II and was wounded by gunfire in the Battle of   
   Okinawa. After completing his military service, he worked at an   
   aluminum plant for more than 30 years.   
      
   Friends called him "Shorty," and it was the company of his   
   friends that helped him cope with the death of his wife, Myrtle,   
   about six years ago, said Barbara Belton, his daughter-in-law.   
      
   She described his death as “horrendous” and said she has   
   struggled to make sense of his death.   
      
   For one thing, she said, he didn't look like a man of means, and   
   his car -- a 1994 Ford Contour -- was anything but flashy.   
      
   "He didn't dress fancy," she said. "Why these kids thought he   
   had some money, I don't know."
