MALDEN, Mo. (AP) _ Three southeast Missouri teenagers are charged with second-degree murder in the beating death of another teen.
The Sikeston Standard Democrat reports 17-year-old Dante Gibson was found unresponsive around 3:30 a.m. Sunday on the porch of a home in Malden, about 190 miles southwest of St. Louis. He was pronounced dead a short time later at a hospital.
The suspects face arraignment Tuesday.
An autopsy is planned but police say Gibson died after being “continually punched and kicked” in an apparent dispute over money and drugs.
