All of this over a fake costume jewelry at a Halloween party? Unbelievable. They should all do life in prison.

This makes me tearful…it is so hard to stomach such an adorable kid senselessly being murdered.

A chain isn’t worth someone’s life. Very sad I hope justice is really served to these cornballs. Really pathetic Condolences to the family

[@hannibalheyes339]

I don't think it was so much about a gold chain as it was about just harassing the boy. These wanna be tough guys just wanted to bully, scare and beat him up and ended up killing him and ruining the rest of their lives. So sad all the way around, that's for sure.

[@naturistfred]

@@hannibalheyes339 Agreed, this was a fake gold chain at that. These guys wanted to bully and harm him.

[@XxRIGOxX]

Right but a liquor robber gets killed you all say it's what he deserves. Clowns

[@WayneLinorice]

Bingo thats exactly it

[@Mark-qv4bn]

Pleaded not guilty. It was recorded, and someone has the video, probably many do. Buh bye, guys. Arizona is not soft on crime. As a long-time Arizona resident and taxpayer, I vote for life without parole, or 50 years each alleged suspect. Life for a life.

[@joanhuffman2166]

Sadly, that particular county has looked the other way for a long time. The Goons have assaulted others in the same way many times. The schools did nothing, the parents did nothing, the police barely collected evidence.

[@AnaM7777]

One will snitch & all going to prison...great job parents raising animals

[@JDDupuy]

Hard to believe this is what parents are raising these days. Pure evil!

[@sourcecode6084]

The parents of these clowns (esp of Talan Renner) whose parent Travis Renner are some of the parents that have actively destroyed and tampering with evidence these crazy and powerful (and/or diluted) parents trying to get their spawn out and away from this - pathetic. (google Travis Renner, Ashley Reynolds, and Adam Kifer)

Where's all those "usual suspect" clowns at, this wouldn't happen if these kids had fathers in their life. Which is greater 17mil fatherless homes, or 70mil fatherless homes? Get your kids under control my bright friend

[@missssophisicated6742]

Yesssss...they're gonna be as quiet as a church mouse..

[@saltynarwhal]

I'm right here... people were caught they'll have their day in court and go to prison. No riots, no burger kings burned down. But it is unusual for a white kid to get stomped to death over a chain. We all know that's a black people problem. RTJ even rapped about it... Did my response validate your racial victim mentality worldview? You're welcome.

[@tansywelsh1636]

Well, for at least one I know his father is in his life. Of course, he has gotten his son out of trouble with $ so many times, the kid never learned what consequences are. I think he is about ready to find out.

[@petemarron6677]

"Gilbert goons"? More like the " the soap dropper crew".

[@stephwiller9089]

Never heard the name Talan before and 2 of them are involved in this murder. Obviously not the most important fact but just a random thing I noticed. The fact someone was murdered over a chain is insane, wtf is wrong with people these days.

[@ChiefsWin316]

And one talan had the plan of placing all the blame on the other talan, but his master plan fell through.
