Zemir Begic, 32, was driving around at 1:15 a.m. in the city’s Bevo Mill neighborhood when at least three juveniles approached his vehicle and began wailing on it with hammers, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The driver, a Bosnian immigrant, got out of the car to confront the assailants, who started yelling at him and pummeling him with the hammers, cops said. After the vicious onslaught was over, Begic — who had only been living in St. Louis for a year — was left battered and broken with injuries to his head, face, mouth and abdomen.

He later died at St. Louis University Hospital, according to the Dispatch.

A 15-year-old and a 16-year-old male were both in police custody Sunday evening as investigators worked to determine a motive, the Dispatch reports. Police said they also know the name of a third suspect and now believe that a fourth was involved as well.

St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said Begic’s killing did not appear to be motivated by race or ethnicity.

“There is no indication that the gentleman last night was targeted because he was Bosnian,” he said. “There’s no indication that they knew each other.”

Suad Nuranjkovic, 49, was riding in the passenger seat of Begic’s car at the time the unprovoked assault began. The two were on their way home from a bar when the teens bombarded them near the intersection of Gravois Avenue and Itaska Street, according to the Dispatch.

As Begic stood up to the hooligans, Nuranjkovic was able to run across the street to safety.

“I was afraid that if one of them had a gun, they were going to shoot me,” he said. “So I didn’t know what to do.”

Nuranjkovic — who is also Bosnian — has no idea why they were singled out.

“I don’t know why this is happening to Bosnians,” he said. “We could go around and shoot people, too, but we just want peace.”

Outraged Bosnians took to the streets Sunday night to voice their grievances over Begic’s murder and also bring attention to other recent aggressive acts aimed at their people — including the 2013 fatal shooting of a 19-year-old immigrant in Bevo Mill, according to the Dispatch.

Demonstrators, including Begic’s sister Denisa, marched to the location of the heinous hammer attack and called for more to be done to protect the Bosnian community from violence.

“I hope justice is served for my brother because he didn’t deserve this at all,” Denisa said. “I don’t know what to think of it. It’s so wrong what they did.”

Here’s a video that was just released that proves these homicidal punks killed the Bosnian victim for the color of his skin. The St. Louis police chief is too scared to speak the truth about this murder being a hate crime, lest his city be vandalized and looted by black "protesters."

Also, here’s a Ferguson black "activist" urging fellow blacks to attack Bosnian immigrants.

Do any of the posters who think this kid's behavior was dopey realize that it all began when one 15-year old raped the back of his car w/a hammer. He got out to confront the kid when the others appears and killed him. I'm not sure if this will change anyone's mind as I've come to realize that positions, once taken, rarely change even when additional facts are introduced.

Those that have not, do not understand the hatred that fosters the urge to maim and kill white people.

Liberal whites would say we hate black people, so it all balances out. Does it really??????

I have never seen or heard of roving white gangs in search of a black to kill, no white gangs looting and burning.

I wish I could print here what we put up with in NYC, professional blacks and their value for white women.

But this President and AG have fanned the flames of racial unrest, specifically black hatred for whites.

What with Affirmative Action in force, blacks are getting unearned perks left right and center.

The difference being that in the past it was mostly controlled, now it is encouraged by blacks and whites.

Race baiters always cry the same lament, blacks have a right to hate because of the past.

Until one has had blacks threaten to kill them, for nothing, they cannot say they understand their hatred.

I lamented about the race baiting news of late. He understood and explained it well.
