Authorities now have 6 suspects in fatal beating of teen at Halloween party

PHOENIX (AP) — Four young males have been indicted and two more were arrested on Thursday in the fatal beating of a teenage boy during a Halloween party in a suburb of Phoenix last year. Sixteen-year-old Preston Lord died from his injuries two days after the Oct. 28 that shocked the Queen Creek community. The Arizona Republic reported that his killing involved a gang called the “Gilbert Goons,” who recorded blitz-style attacks in parks, parking garages and house parties. Activists held vigils and marched against gang violence. Maricopa County authorities said Wednesday night that four suspects indicted _ two 17-year-olds and two adults aged 20 and 18 _ face charges of first-degree murder and kidnapping.
