Derrion Albert’s Beating Death Captured on Video

As expected, this issue of Darrion Albert beating video will run a long way yet. The latest on this issue is that there are still three suspects at large, according to Police Superintendent Jody Weis.

Eugene Bailey’s participation in the death of Darrion Albert is through knockout punch. He is not allowed to post bail as well as the other three namely, Silvonus Shannon, 19, Eugene Riley, 18, and Eric Carson, 16.

A $6,000 reward is offered by the authorities for information as to the others who may be held liable for the death of Darrion Albert.

As you can see in the video below, there is a significant group of people fighting, punching, swinging boards and kicking in the street. Fox Chicago obtained the video which shows someone being hit by one of the boards and kicked and beaten after he falls to the ground. Albert died from blows from one of those boards. Also on the video, someone can be heard yelling, ‘Darrion, get up!’

Albert’s mother, Anjanette Albert, says that other student’s have told her that Derrion got drawn into the fight when he tried to help another student. Other students and staff from the Agape Community Center nearby pulled Derrion out of the fight, but it was too late to save him.

Although faces were not easily visible from the tape, police have been able to identify several of the perpetrators. They are using the tape to find clues as to who is responsible for the death of Derrion Albert. As of now there are four people being questioned about the attack, three are over 17 years of age.

Albert’s memorial service has been postponed until Monday at the request of Chicago Public Schools.

The five-minute melee left Darrion dead from a blow to the head and three other students hospitalized.
