Texas Teen Admits Killing Boy With Bowling Ball A Texas teenager has pleaded guilty to fatally beating a five-year-old boy with a bowling ball. Sida Osman was found dead in the backyard of a vacant Fort Worth home in June. A 14-year-old was later arrested and charged with the child's murder. Authorities said the teen admitted to others that he had struck the boy twice in the head with a bowling bowl. He reportedly said he became irritated after the five-year-old continued to pester him about being taken to a nearby store. A trial was slated to begin on Wednesday, but a last-minute deal saw the teen enter a guilty plea. As part of the deal, the 14-year-old will spend 23 years behind bars, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. Authorities are not identifying the teen because of his age. The Star-Telegram said the teen briefly addressed the courtroom during Wednesday's hearing. "I just want the family to know I'm sorry," he reportedly said through tears. Sida Osman was reported missing a day before his body was found. He was last seen riding his bike. The child was living with his family in a Fort Worth community that is home to several ethnic minority Somali Bantus who fled their war-torn country for the US.
