Two men, Jacob Dimont, age 18, and Michael Solid, age 21, were driving down a Las Vegas street when they spotted Marcos walking with an iPad.

These thieves decided that they wanted the iPad and Jacob Dimont jumped out of their vehicle and attempted to grab the device.

Marcos wouldn't let go. He had gotten the iPad just 2 months ago for his birthday. He treasured it.

After Dimont re-entered the vehicle and Solid sped away, Marcos was somehow dragged until he fell. The vehicle ran over Marcos. He passed away at the hospital later in the day.

Jacob Dimont and Michael Solid have been arrested and are charged with murder, robbery, and conspiracy to commit robbery.

Solid has an arrest record of possession of a stolen vehicle, petty larceny, robbery and assault. Dimont does not have any prior adult arrests.

Thieves are continually looking on the streets for people holding Apple products in their hands, which they can resell. This is called "Apple picking".

The Apple Corporation should give money to the Arenas family to at least cover the funeral expenses. This boy died over holding onto an Apple product.  They could give $10,000. out of the $10 million they make every day. 

Marcos was a student at Bonanza High School.

Father, place Marcos on the
Stairway to Heaven 

Marcos is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his father, Ivan Arenas, his mother; and 9 siblings.

Pray for all who die at age 15.  They barely lived.  Amen. 

God save us from the thieves.  They are killing us, Father.  Amen. 

Let us pray that Marcos is in heaven. Let us pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
