Seven Arrested in Fatal Beating of Arizona Teen Over Necklace Theft

The attack, potentially sparked by a dispute over a gold-chain necklace, has led to widespread community outrage and a complex investigation.

Seven suspects, including three juveniles, have been arrested in connection with the fatal beating of 16-year-old Preston Lord at a Halloween party in Arizona.
The attack, which may have been sparked by the theft of a cheap gold-chain necklace, resulted in Lord's death from traumatic brain injuries two days later.
Some of the suspects are linked to the 'Gilbert Goons,' a group implicated in a series of violent attacks on young people in the Phoenix suburbs.
Prosecutors are considering the death penalty for the adult suspects, while the juveniles face a maximum of life in prison.
The case has prompted widespread community outrage and calls for justice, with more arrests and charges expected as the investigation continues.
