On May 28, 2018, Steven Augustine was suddenly attacked while walking home from work. Charles Miles hit Steven so violently that his face was fractured and the left side of his skull sank into his brain. Steven survived with his injuries for two years, though he was paralyzed and couldn’t breathe without the help of a ventilator.
Before his death, his mother said “Steven was a happy, fun-loving guy… He loves his children and family more than anything in the world and to see him now, severely brain damaged, is devastating… My boy is fighting every day; he wakes up every time I walk in the room and he can blink to say ‘yes’ and ‘no’. He cries every time he sees his sons… they cry too because they miss their daddy so much.”
Charles served 72 days for the attack.
