Melee

Prosecutors say an 18-year-old delivered the "knock out" punch of a Chicago Honors Roll student that was beaten to death on his way home from school.

Eugene Bailey is one of four suspects charged in Derrion Albert's death. He was denied bail at a court hearing Tuesday and remains in jail. The three other suspects, Silvonus Shannon, 19, Eugene Riley, 18, and Eric Carson, 16 are also being held without bail for their alleged roles in the beating.

Cell phone footage shows a group of teens kicking and striking Albert with splintered railroad ties after the Christian Fenger Academy High School sophomore left school Thursday.

The violence stemmed from a shooting early Thursday morning involving two groups of students from different neighborhoods, said Tandra Simonton, a spokeswoman for the Cook County prosecutor's office. When school ended, members of the groups began fighting near the Agape Community Center.

During the attack, captured in part on a bystander's cell phone video, Albert is struck on the head by one of several young men wielding wooden planks. After he falls to the ground and appears to try to get up, he is struck again and then kicked. Simonton said Albert was a bystander and not part of either group.
