Two "Persons of Interest" in Logan Square Beating

By Chuck Sudo in News on Sep 20, 2011 2:20PM

Chicago Police are questioning two people in the beating last week of 14-year-old Brian DeLeon in Logan Square.

DeLeon was found near a park with head injuries so severe EMTs believed he had suffered a gunshot wound. The Phoenix Military Academy was walking home from a homework session with his girlfriend and, when he didn't call her to let him know he made it home safely, she called Deleon's mother.

DeLeon was put into a coma and it's uncertain what his condition is at this time.
