FORT WORTH, Texas — A 44-year-old father of four died in September after being brutally beaten in a Fort Worth neighborhood in August.

Monroe Lingle was found face-down near Cypress and Presidio streets with severe head trauma, according to Monroe’s sister, Susan Lingle.

"They found him facedown and that he had been beaten to the back of the head with bricks," said Susan Lingle, the victim's sister.

Lingle spent nearly a month hospitalized before succumbing to his injuries. His sister said the experience was difficult for the family.

Susan Lingle described her brother as a father to four grown children. He lived in Springtown
