GREENSBORO, N.C. - Three teenagers are accused of murdering a 74-year-old man and then taking $3 from his wallet, reports CBS affiliate WFMY.

Larry Eugene Brown's body was found on a roadside on July 29. Police say a 14-year-old girl, a 15-year-old boy and 17-year-old D'Angelo Matthews robbed and killed the grandfather.

Investigators say the teenagers were just driving down the road when they decided to attack Brown as he headed to the bus stop.

All three teens are facing murder charges. Matthews is charged with First Degree Murder and Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon and made his first appearance in court on Wednesday, which was also his 17th birthday.

On Thursday, WFMY obtained documents revealing that the teenagers allegedly took $3 cash, a wallet, flash light, cell phone and a razor from Brown.

The total value of the items was about $100.
