It’s been nearly three months since Preston Lord, 16, was beaten to death outside of a Halloween party in Queen Creek, Arizona — a suburb of Phoenix. Preston’s family and the community have called for justice as the police chief announced charges have been referred to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office against seven juveniles and adults in Preston’s murder. Law&Crime’s Angenette Levy talks with retired FBI agent Bobby Chacon about the bureau’s involvement in the case in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show that delves into the biggest stories in crime.

I just came upon this news… this is so beyond Sad… poor young kid 🌹 RIP
Gilbert PD has been defending their Mormon friends. It's a Republican thing.
I think the parents need to also be charged. What adult owned the house where this happened? Who gave these kids alcohol?
All people involved need to be held accountable
It won’t bring Preston back unfortunately but there needs to be justice
RIP Preston ❤
I dont understand why people aren't coming forward. They were at a Halloween party, so there were probably lots of witnesses there. Yet nobody is brave enough to speak up.
Prayers for Justice for sweet Preston. These cowards will hopefully be locked up for a long time. What a shame this happened to Preston.
The usual suspects
I know they're in high school and their brains are still developing, but still, the things I've read what they did. No guilt, shame or remorse. Just awful 😥
My son was empathetic, had morals and respect ever since he was a little boy.
Look at the violence committed by gummint and military in thus country, then ask what the problem is with "teen violence "
If what she says is true about school purpose, it's CLEAR yhey are a HUGE failure, and have been for DECADES.
WAKE UP PEOPLE.
Sad so much emphasis put on "school accomplishments". That's a low bar and inconsequential. Just sad.
I grew up in this area which is in the eastern portion of the Phoenix metro area and contains suburbs that until a decade ago, were sleepy cities that people raised families in and are littered with cookie cutter homes. Basically it was a place where you could escape the violence and crime that plagued the big cities of Phoenix and Mesa. Now this area (Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek) changed alot for the worse.
50 years in jail to life in prison with out parole to this evils
How the F did this take over 4 months to figure out. Bro they go to the same school together. Something is reeealllyy fishey here….
Preston rest in peace little homie!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕💕💕 From a concerned dad to an about to be teenage daughter…..
It takes lot of hyenas to take down one lion.
No snitch culture is in the suburbs too ? That's crazy. The homeowner knows exactly who jumped that poor kid.
It appears what's happening is that the children responsible are being protected by their connected parents. It's way beyond time that we cut the crap with the two different justice systems. There's most certainly one for us normal people, and then the rich justice system where if you have money and power, you're never held accountable. It's disgusting and frustrating beyond belief to see people getting away with literal murder.
Video games! The news interviewer wants to know how our society youth have come to be so violent? Video games. Violent war strategic pack mentality with no consequences. Video games. Harmless they are not.
A parent’s nightmare. I hope they find justice.
7 juveniles have NOT been charged. The Interviewee should have immediately been corrected. They were "referred". Huge difference.
The Mayor of Queen Creek needs to fire their police chief.
society has advanced so much in terms of our enlightenment but despite all of the progress we have made over previous generations going back centuries we are every bit as barbaric in nature as were our predecessors… I believe capitalism and democracy are by far and away the absolute best forms of government because they provide the best opportunity for us to improve our stations but when everything is based on profit and there are no resources available to help those whose mental state makes them a threat to society, we end up having tragedies like this… and these occurrences seem only to be escalating right up there with mass shootings in our schools and across our cities.
Good this is all over national news now
Gilbert Goons 😂
Why did they target this little boy?😢
Dont send your children to public schools.
The law enforcement are giving the families time to get their kids out of the country or come up with some alibi.
STILL NO ARRESTS!?!?!??!?! Wth are they waiting for?????
ALL LIVES MATTER.
📉⛪️💒📈
they're all innocent,
Well, I guess we now know the results of raising at least some of this generation of teenagers with zero consequences. I'm not even sure our justice system will be of use for much longer in some places. My sincere condolences to the victim's loved ones.
You're insane! I copped some of these after watching/reading multiple reviews saying they fit "TTS" and were "Very wide foot friendly" I had to be sure beforehand…
Nope these fit a half size small for me! What a waste of time and resources having to return these and chase down a significantly less available and more expensive half size up from my usual 12US maybe its the colourway i dunno got the denim ones…
If Preston had exercised his second amendment right, he’d still be alive.
Growup and move on
So this was about HS rivalry? Is that REALLY worth killing someone over, or going to prison for??
HS rivalry, huh? F'ken losers. Within a few years after HS, that crap no longer means a thing.
Sad story. The kid had a very bright future, ended by a kid or kids who didn't. Sheer jealousy. I send my condolences and love to his family, especially his parents.
Locals have known the name of all of the kids involved for weeks. They've been getting their names posted on tiktok, Snapchat, Twitter and honestly the cops aren't doing anything because of religious ties
i dont get it… why has there been no publicity for this case?
Justice for Preston Lord 🧡🧡🧡!!!
This must be a tic toc thing cause this isnt isolated and is similar time periods
It's happening more because of a lack of God in society.
Wtf is wrong with kids, im not Old but still it was 20yrs ago i was in hs and Even then you fought one v one, no guns, no jumping and when things get out of hand someone breaks it up now its always jumping or breaking out knives or guns its tragic kids are scared cowards for doing this RIP young man and condolences to his family so sad
Sounds like they're trying to either protect someone or cover something up. Was a high-ranking community member's kid involved? Were there illegals involved? There is definitely something off with this case.
