Video: Chicago Teenager’s Gang-Related Beating Death Caught
from Associated Press
September 28, 2009
CHICAGO (AP) – Chicago police say they’re bolstering security around a high school on the city’s South Side after a student was beaten to death.
But they are declining to give details on the security plan for Fenger High School.
Family members believe Derrion Albert was beaten on his way from school on Thursday for refusing to join a gang. But some witnesses say he was a bystander who was swept into a violent fight.
A vigil for Albert is planned outside the school Monday afternoon.
Meanwhile, police are investigating the beating, including video purportedly taken by a person at the scene.
The video, which shows several people beating and stomping a person believed to Albert, has been turned over to police.
They say the video is being used to identify people at the scene.

F#@Ked up
i dont see why people are even involved with that ish anyway…….it doesn’t make any sense to me why someone would k someone for refusing to join….. REALLY fED UP!!!
this had nothing to do with Joining a gang, some how the media reported it and now you dont hear then reporting it. It was a high school fight. PLain and Simple.
I doubt very much this has to do with a kid not wanting to join a gang. Makes great news headline but mostly like not the full story.
this was so sad!!! what is wrong with people they didn’t have to do that at all. An innocent bystander lost his life over some smart ignorant mess. [what is the world coming to?!?!]

This is sad, and all too common…I used to see this type of behavior all the time, but nobody lived. The sad part is Derrion was trying to be there for a buddy….where’s the buddy when he was getting pummeled? Don’t know, but I’d bet there was gunplay afterward, and Chicago has the WORST gun laws imaginable, but lead in gun-related deaths. Either they need a bigger police presence, or open Carver back up….those Garden boys have nowhere else to go, so Fenger is it, and the Ville boyz didn’t like that, so this is the result…sad.
