"Three teenagers have been arrested and charged as adults with first-degree murder in the beating death of 16-year-old Derrion Albert as he walked home from Chicago's Fenger High School last Thursday, the Chicago Tribune reports.
The three teens were scheduled to be arraigned today.
USA TODAY's Judy Keen reports from Chicago that people gathered today at the high school to remember the slain honor student and to call for an end to violence.
Albert was beaten to death during a melee between two gangs that broke out on the street.
Several police vehicles were parked outside the school, which was reopened today for the first time since the incident. Ministers and anti-violence activists gathered outside in advance of today's vigil.
A pot of white flowers stood in front of two posters featuring photos of the slain youth. One poster was covered with handwritten memorials. "Derrion, you will be missed," one read.
Mary Washington, 69, who lives in the neighborhood, said it has long been plagued by gang violence. "They're killing our children, our hope for the future," she said. "When will it stop?"
"I'm praying and hoping that out of this will come something positive," said Rev. Martin Watt of the Disciples of Christ Church in Harvey, Ill.
Meanwhile, police are continuing to investigate the killing, including video purportedly taken by a person at the scene, the Associated Press reports.
The video, which shows several people beating and stomping a person believed to Albert, has been turned over to police. The authorities say the video is being used to identify people at the scene.

I cant stop shaking, those kids should get much worse than jail, killing an innocent kid, from what sounds like to be a great kid who would never deserve this in a million years.
The people who killed him should get life in prison, this is unforgivable these kids are horrible. They dont deserve any respect from anyone, this isnt one of those "oh he just made a mistake" not one bit.
Rest in Piece fro those who were killed

There is a reason for everything. Wheter it be drugs or some horrible motive. They had a reason to do it. Whatever the reason it was stupid. The kids who did this are either messed up in the mind or were under some type of influence. They deserve jail and nothing more. There are thousands of murders everyday yet only a select few lead to death of the murderer.

Check dates, this is sick. I don't understand how someone could do that to there own kind. It's like canabalism. Something most people would never think of.
