The footage shows Lambert attempting to walk away from the group as they follow him across the street before one of the male teens hits the victim from behind with a cone.
The collision knocked Lambert to the ground. While he was down, a girl picks up the same cone and throws it at him as another one in the group records on his phone, the video shows.
Lambert seems to get up and run down the sidewalk away from the teenagers. But the same girl picks up the cone again, chases down Lambert and throws it at him once more while some of the teens smile and laugh.
Lambert was taken to a local hospital where he died the following day from his injuries, police said.
