Korn fan murdered
Yahoo! Music, Aug 2, 2006 2:00 pm PDTA Korn fan was murdered at a show in America on Sunday evening.
Andy Richardson was assaulted and hospitalized after the attack, which happened in the mosh pit during a show in Atlanta, on the group's Family Values Tour. Richardson, 30, remains on a life support machine but was actually declared brain-dead yesterday afternoon.
Police are now expected to launch a murder investigation into the attack, which was carried out by two currently unknown men.
Richardson is understood to have spoken to his assailants during the show, because he was concerned they may collide with his pregnant girlfriend and a mentally impaired child with them.
A friend of Richardson's, Edgar Arellano, told MTV he saw one of the men punch him and watched as he fell face-first onto the concrete floor. "He was unconscious. He had blood all over his face when I picked him up," said Arellano.
The victim's mother, Gloria Richardson, said: "Can you imagine your child goes to a concert and be killed for it, because of people out there fighting to have a quote-unquote good time?"
