DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Four people appeared in court Monday in the fatal beating of a teenager who was attacked at a house party after police say he walked by a group who decided to pounce on the next person who passed by.
District Attorney David McDade said the four were charged with murder for "stomping, kicking and punching" 18-year-old Bobby Tillman to death early Sunday in Douglas County, west of Atlanta.
Douglas County Maj. Tommy Wheeler said a fight broke out between two females and two males at a house party, and one of the females hit a male. He said the man said he wouldn't retaliate against a girl, but he would hit the next man that walked by.
Tillman happened to be the unlucky person, and Wheeler said multiple attackers beat and stomped him. Deputies arriving at the scene tried to administer CPR to the teen, but he didn't survive.
"It's amazing," said Wheeler. "He had nothing to do with anything, they just decided he's the one. And they killed him."
Douglas County Coroner Randy Daniel said Monday Tillman died of blunt force trauma to the head and chest.
The four who appeared Monday at an initial hearing in the killing of Tillman were identified as Quantez Devonta Mallory, Horace Damon Coleman, Emmanuel Benjamin Boykins and Tracen Lamar Franklin.
The judge informed the defendants they would have to obtain council. None of the four spoke at the hearing.

All 57 of those people should be charged along with the 4 who did the deed.
There's no such thing as a bystander in a case like this. SOMEONE should have stepped up and stopped the madness.
WTF is wrong with this generation of youngsters??? No respect for human life and entitled to everything on earth.
