Two teenage boys were shot to death after asking the suspect how tall he was when they were buying candy from a store.
“The victims were walking into the store, they saw Battle, he was standing in line while at the store and the victims commented that Battle, he was quite tall, and they asked him how tall he was and hoped to be that tall someday,” said Deputy Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan “Unfortunately, we will never even see the full growth of these poor children.”
Jasean Francis, 17, was shot in the back, chest and left hand. Charles Riley, 16, was shot in the back and left leg. The third teen, who was not identified, managed to escape the gunfire. Both of the boys who were shot were taken to University of Chicago Hospital and later died from the injuries they suffered during the shooting.
"He was nice to seniors on the block," said another of Francis’ aunts, Keena Hoyle."The nurses looked forward to him coming over there daily. They brought over to the family roses. They watched him grow up as a child."MORE: Father and son who beat up and stabbed 12-year-old boy together arrested“There was no altercation,” said Deenihan. “There was nothing that would have set off Battle to be angry at these kids.
