Prosecutors charged Silvonus Shannon, 19, Eugene Riley, 18, Eric Carson, 16, and Eugene Bailey, 18, with first-degree murder, Simontonsaid.
Shannon, Riley and Carson were ordered held without bond Monday. The Cook County Public Defender's Office, which represented the three teenagers in court, had no immediatecomment. Bailey was due in bond court Tuesday, Simonton said.
Chicago police said they were looking for at least three more suspects, but would not discuss a possible motive for the attack.
Simonton said Albert was knocked unconscious when Carson struck him in the head with a board and a second person punched him in the face. Albert regainedconsciousness and was trying to get up when he was attacked a second time by five people, struck in the head with a board by Riley and stomped in the head byShannon, Simonton said.

8 lives wasted
Additionally, what exactly is the city doing to alleviate this problem. This isn't a "black-people-in-the-hood" problem. This is a CHICAGO problem. The dichotomy between the nice safe affluent neighborhoods and the grimy crime ridden neighborhoods must be astronomical. It's funny, I just talked to a friend of mine who works for Morningstar, graduated with his BFA from Uconn just a 2 years ago, and he was telling me just how lovely his neighborhood is--his apartment apparently overlooks the Michigan--and how he has his lunches in a nearby park where there is always music playing. That's my boy so I am beyond happy for him. But a part of me couldn't help but wonder if he knew or cared about that fact that, just a few miles from him, was a war-zone where innocent lives were being compromised everyday. Which then leads you to further wonder, if Chicago-ans (the ones looking in) really care about what's happening.
Do people only care about the violence when it touches them, their children, and invades their suburban sprawl. People will continue to die in that city unless EVERY CITIZEN makes an effort to combat the violent plague that is presently, localized, but will soon surely spread. Realtalk, Oprah (because of her power) needs to initiate something. I'd even call on Barack considering that's "his city" but he has national and global issues to tackle...
Come on son, you already know the answer to that question. Just ask Dough Boy, he said it perfectly....

Not gonna happen. She's too worried about giving away cars and hanging w/ Jay-Z and %%@!

Human beings are just turning into animals now! People are becoming more and more heartless everyday. This is some sad !%%* and i have an insane amount ofsympathy for all the parents involved and the kid that was murdered. I got chills when could hear one of the girls screaming that kids name over and over. Forthis to happen anywhere its bad, but when it happens in my city and the rate this !%%* keeps happening in, its disheartening to say the least. It seems likewhen i was a kid and you got into a fight, that same day youd be hoopin on the same team with the guy you fought with and everything was cool.

So glad those lil !$!*$% gonna get when they deserve.
But no I'm not really. I wish the climate wasn't such that they've have to lose all humanity and act on animal instinct. Wielding boards andstomping dudes out when they are down is not in the human fabric.
Something has to be done to stop this nonsense. Not just in Chicago, but countrywide.

What can we do to help the situation? I'm tired of hearing complaints about how bad it is. I just want things to get better. I feel like community programsonly help the good kids.

The downfall of black America is so much emphasis on being "hard" rather than having "compassion" or being "intelligent". How wewent from fighting for an education and desegregation in schools to education being shunned.... everybody wanna be a "rapper", "model""ball player" we the only group of people that cut out abilities short and box ourselves into aspirations that only a few ever attain. I wish EVERYblack person in America had a subscription to Black Enterprise magazine and see how many successful black lawyers, engineers, doctors, entrepreneurs,accountants & etc are out their instead of being warped around what the media deems as successful career paths for us.

agreed...the way I see it, is there is way to much in-fighting in the black community as well. Black people seem to want to show each other up,fight each other, hold each other down. Yall kind of don't want to see each other shine.
take it from a Jew, the only way you guys will come up in america is if you stick together and look out for your people.

You have to keep in mind that black bodies have traditionally been disposable in American culture. It's the same reason why cops can stillkill black people and get away with it.
Eventually even our own communities buy into it.

Damn, it's hard to even articulate my feelings toward this.
I almost broke down when i seen that video of his mother.
Stories like this are too common in bad inner city areas, it's sad this is the only one that will see light for awhile.
We stay killing ourselves instead empowering each other, but coming from an area like that, ive seen how that mentality develops.
Another young black life lost, more young black lives in the prison system, a vicious cycle
He was only one year younger than me, just a kid.
@#%* is too sad and it's only the beginning
