Belton, 89, died from the injuries he suffered in the beating Thursday morning at Sacred Heart Medical Center.

Witnesses say the Belton was in the parking lot of the Eagles Lodge at 6410 N. Lidgerwood, adjacent to the Eagles Ice-A-Rena, around 8 p.m. Wednesday when the two male suspects attacked him.

Belton died from his injuries Thursday at Sacred Heart Medical Center.

"Shorty," as he was known by his friends at the Eagles Lodge, served in the U.S. Army in the Pacific during WWII and was shot in the leg during the Battle of Okinawa. He went on to work at Kaiser Aluminum at the company's Trentwood plant for more than 30 years.

He loved playing pool, even though he claimed he was no good at it and had been a member of the Eagles Lodge for the last four months. In addition to playing pool he loved working on cars.

Belton's wife passed away several years ago.

Spokane police are looking for two male suspects in the attack. They said the suspects are African Americans between 16 and 19 years old.

One suspect was described as heavy set and wearing all black clothing. The other was described as being about 6 feet tall and 150 pounds. There was no description of what clothing the second suspect was wearing other than a silk do-rag.

Police investigating the deadly attack on Belton are also working to obtain surveillance footage from the scene.

There is a new day dawning...........

I'm seeing a trend with the feral pavement apes......here's Survival Pro-Tip #1:

They've got [bleep] in Spokane? Who'da thunk it?

Time to instill a little fear in these types

Sure would like to help hunt them down.

We wish.

You can't tell me there were not people around that could not have stopped this. WTF is wrong?

Our economy is toast, we've got a communist mulatto in the White House, Good White people are being slaughtered by hordes of free-range negro's and government pretends it's not happening...........remind me how are we different from Zimbabwe/South Africa????

If Mr. Belton doesn't get a huge outpouring of support during the funeral this Country needs a double flush.

Black culture doesn't need another government program, they need occuaption by the 82nd Airborne.

I didn't notice where it mentioned they were black, but I can be color blind, regardless of who beat that ole vet to death, they need a bullet to each kneecap, while they ponder how they're goin to die.

That's so unusual. Typically it's the damned Swedes who are responsible for this sort of thing.

RIP.

No kiddin!!! Why haven't your Spokaners run em outta town?!?!?

What I feel like saying would have me banned and the FBI and Secret Service on my doorstep at 7 AM tomorrow morning...

It seems to me that along with a leatherman tool, the well dressed needs a Glock and three magazines to go along for the ride. What the hell kind of moral degeneracy is this? When I was young I was taught that when you come across your elder its Yes Sir or No Sir, And Yes Madam or No Madam. Some were along the line people stopped teaching kids to be polite. At the movies at my library last night the fellow behind me address me as sir, I introduced myself and we shook hands. His garbage is going to end badly.

Yeah if you're a puzzzy -not me!

Too many puzzzies!

What kind? I'll tell you. Fifty years of the War on Poverty has now created a culture of people who have no moral compass, no future, no education, little or no parental control and operate in animalistic type groups we call gangs.
Their goal is to live for the day, take what they want, kill or beat up whom they please and taunt the rest of society.
Because "white guilt" has paralyzed our Country, this will continue and to quote you - end badly.
