中新网9月27日电 据美国《世界日报》报道，美国芝加哥警局表示，今年4月初在芝城华埠凶残抢劫华裔老翁雷先生的一名涉案凶嫌落网，年仅18岁的派特森不仅劫走雷先生的车辆、抢走财物，还对其残忍重殴，后丢其在马路上。隔日清晨雷先生虽被清洁人员发现送医，但经过几个月的治疗，余生都无法自理生活，须接受24小时照顾。
保释庭法官表示，由于罪犯恶行重大，裁决继续关押不准保释。
雷先生是在4月6日晚间11时许，开车从他的一个儿子住的南环区公寓离开后失踪，8日凌晨1时许家人报警协寻，两个儿子也同时在社交媒体刊登了寻人启事。
根据芝加哥第九警分局的报案记录，清洁人员是在4月7日清晨，于25街夹普林斯顿街附近街道，发现躺在地上不醒人事的雷先生，当时受害者头部都是血。虽经报警送医，但由于伤者头部受重创，且无任何证件，一度无法确认身份，之后刚好雷家于医院工作的友人通知，才使家人前往确认伤者就是雷先生。
“抢劫就算了，他们竟把我父亲打成重伤再丢到路旁等死”，雷先生的儿子对于抢匪的行径非常愤怒与痛心。
芝警局警官与九分局局长杰洛米、11区区长李慧华共同发布了派特森落网的消息，警方表示，该案发生后，警方一直从各种渠道搜查监视摄影机影片，最终从歹徒在多个地点使用雷先生信用卡的记录，追出监视画面中的涉案人背景后将其缉捕到案。
助理检察官拉席表示，派特森在4月7日凌晨3时左右，抢劫了另一部车辆然后开到华埠普林斯顿街夹25街附近，接着他与两名同伙下车将开车经过的雷先生拦住并把他拉下车，接着对雷先生拳打脚踢，导致其昏迷，派特森然后将雷先生口袋中的车钥匙、财物取走，并开走雷先生的车辆。
