Another CPS Student Murdered

An 18-year-old was beaten to death with a baseball bat at a party on Saturday night, making him the 23rd CPS student to be killed this year. Albert Vaughn, Jr, a student at Julian High School, was killed on the 7000 block of South Throop.

Vaughn was at a party at a few blocks from his house when two other guests got in a fight. Vaughn apparently tried to usher younger kids out of the party when he was struck twice with a metal bat. Police are still investigating if the fight was gang-related. [S-T, Trib, CBS, WBBM]
