HOTT IN THE HEADLINES!

REST IN PEACE! DERRION ALBERT! Our hearts goes out to your FAMILY.

Chicago POLICE Saturday were reviewing a video showing the melee that left a Fenger Academy High School student beaten to death this week.

DERRION ALBERT, 16, found himself in the middle of a deadly melee with dozens of teenage boys Thursday afternoon in a vacant lot outside the Agape Community Center, 342 W. 111th St., in the Roseland neighborhood. He was later pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
The video was obtained by Fox Chicago News and a copy was given to Chicago police, according to a Calumet Area detective.

WARNING!!! THE FOOTAGE BELOW IS VERY VIOLENT!!!

Meanwhile, a candlelight vigil is being planned for Sunday afternoon in memory of Albert, according to his family.

Witnesses and police said Friday that the Fenger High School junior was not a target but simply passed by the community center from school and was swept into the violent altercation.

The honor roll student known for his love of computers became the third Chicago teenager slain this month. At least seven more have been shot.

Police and witnesses say the melee was a culmination of a simmering rivalry between two groups of Fenger students, one that lived near the school and the other from the Altgeld Gardens housing development. Neighbors said the feud has been building since August.

Police this afternoon said no one was in custody in connection with Albert’s death.
