CHICAGO (AP) — Authorities in Chicago are offering $6,000 for information that leads to more arrests in the fatal beating of a 16-year-old honor student.
Four teens have already been charged in the death of Derrion Albert. They’re all being held without bond.
Police have said they’re looking for other suspects.
Cell phone video footage shows a group of teens kicking and striking Albert with splintered railroad ties as he was walking home from school last Thursday.
Police and Chicago Public Schools officials say they’re hoping to prevent more violence by increasing patrols before and after classes and by offering free bus service to some students.
Area church members are also volunteering to stand on corners as students travel to and from school.
