DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. - Four people have been arrested in the fatal beating of a teenager who was killed at a house party west of Atlanta after police say he walked by a group of men who decided to pounce on the next person that passed by.
Douglas County Maj. Tommy Wheeler said a fight broke out between two females and two males at a house party early Sunday, 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.
Bobby Tillman, 18, 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 arrested have been identified as Quantez Devonta Mallory, Horace Damon Coleman, Emmanuel Benjamin Boykins and Tracen Lamar Franklin. They were expected to make a court appearance Monday.
