CHICAGO — Authorities in Chicago say three teens are charged with first-degree murder in the fatal beating of a 62-year-old man after they posted a video of the attack on Facebook.

Police say Delfino Mora was attacked in an alley on the city’s North Side early Tuesday. A passer-by found him hours later and he was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston in critical condition. The Cook County medical examiner’s office says he died Wednesday afternoon from blunt head trauma.

The teens were arrested over the weekend and are slated to appear in court Monday.

Mora’s family says the father of 12 was disabled because of a workplace injury and was in the alley collecting aluminum cans to earn money for his family.

Two more teens have been charged in the beating death of a 62-year-old disabled man that Chicago police said was recorded on a cell phone and posted to Facebook.

Police said a 16-year-old gang member punched Delfino Mora, father to 12 children and a grandfather to 23, last Tuesday in an alley in the 6300 block of North Artesian. Mora's devastated family told NBC Chicago that Mora was on his regular route of collecting cans that he sells for cash when the teens confronted him.

Nicholas Ayala, 17, of the 6300 block of North Talman and Anthony Malcolm, 18, of the 5500 block of North Broadway were both charged with first-degree murder and robbery.

Malik Jones, 16, the Latin Kings member accused of striking Mora, was charged with first-degree murder and ordered held without bail Sunday by Judge Adam Bourgeois.

4. My deepest condolences to the family

What kind of fucking moron posts this shit on facebook, and why didn't facebook notify the police? I don't use facebook, don't know how, don't want to know how. Don't they have a system to remove this horrendous shit and report it to the proper authorities?
What? Because they were Latin Kings they thought they were above the law?
What the hell is wrong with society these days?

I hope to hell these teens, if convicted, spend the rest of their miserable lives in prison.

5. I'm just about done with this city

My house is worth about 150k less than what I paid for it but I don't see the point in staying anymore. I pay more for everything, I can't send my kids to the schools and I'm sick of the crime.
