Medical examiner: Man who was beaten to death was a homicide victim

A man who died after being badly beaten on the Magnificent Mile this summer is a homicide victim, the Cook County medical examiner’s office has determined. 

We first told you about the case in August, revealing that Chicago police officers stopped the suspected killer within minutes of the attack but decided to let him go and then failed to file a report documenting the crime for days.

Please forgive me for my tendencies to oversimplify things, but I always kinda figured anybody who was beaten to death would be a homicide victim no matter if the proper paperwork was filled out or not.
