Shortly after a fight near Fenger High School, Albert said her son's principal called her at her home in Mount Vernon and told her to come immediately.

“They said he was trying to help another student and kind of got mixed in with the crowd of the fight and he was hit,” Albert said.

Albert said she moved here briefly last year to take care of her mother. She brought along Derrion and her 11-year-old daughter.

  • Derrion, SWEETHEART . . . you oh so didn't DESERVE this. I don't know you but I will someday MEET you in heaven and I can't wait! I am a GREAT student just like you were and I'm going to be a lawyer someday. I take Criminal Justice and we're doing your case and I'm taking the role as your mother and it's an honor to me. This is very horrible what happened to you and I feel for your family, but you're in a so much better place now. From this day on I'll pray for you and your family . . . REST IN PEACE baby boy!
  • Blessed are those that morn GOD will surly comfort you. My prayers go out to the family and friends of such a spectacular young man. That truly shows the character Darrion was to stand up for a fellow friend.I myself am a young black man and to see a another young man loose his life hurts me to my soul. God will seek his judgement Godbless!!!
  • I hope the BASTARDS gets what's coming to them. Heartless motherfuckers.........RIP Derrion you did not deserve this Baby Boy..........
  • had that been my family i would've came outside and shot everyone of them i swear to god if i were there in chicago and this whole report would have said 16 black dummies dead in chicago real sh*t i knoe violence isnt the answer but they were vicious with the attacks i would've slayed em all with hollow points
    • So, how exactly are you any better than them? You say you KNOW that you know violence is wrong but that you would choose to do the same!?! Then you are NO better than them!!! Violence begets, violence begets violence. Or in this case stupid begets stupid.
  • im so sorry to hear about the loss of this young man. i can not believe people of any age could do this. the 3 men who have been caught deserve to go to jail for countless years regardless how old they are. if you are able to do this to someone them you are able to do the time they give you. i read someone said they shouldnt be punished by going to jail, but what if this was your son how would you feel? you would want the same thing to happen to them if they did this to your son. i live in minnesota not to far from chicago and alot of people from chicago moved here i just dont want to see that happen here or anywhere. my condolense goes out to darrions whole family and ill keep yall in my thoughts n prayers!!! Godbless!!!
  • Derrion, may the Lord bless and keep your spirit from this day forward. To the family, words cannot say "sorry" enough for what you as a family are enduring at the moment.
    To the mother, you have lost a son... nothing can replace him, nor will the pain of what your child suffered his last moment here on earth ever leave you. Just know that he is in a better place, and he leaves an AWESOME legacy (honor student) even at the tender age of 16 years old. To his little sister, you can still talk to him because he'll always be with you. He will never stop being your big brother. (Smile)
    To those that delivered the suffering and pain upon this family, may God have mercy on your soul! Why are my black sons and daughters dying so young! Why are we so full of hate and violence? I don't know what ANY of the people who participated in such a heinous act think will come to them.... just know that it's nothing nice.
    You will pay for your sins... by the hand of God.... or by a hand like you laid on this young man.
  • Hang in there lil mama he is in gods hands , me and my family here in southeast texas morn for you and the family god bless baby
  • i feel really bad for his mother and family..all my condolenses goes out to her smh idk or understand why exactly this situation happened..but it did and it's the saddest thing i've ever heard or seen in my life...GOD BLESS YOU MS. ALBERT and to those who were involved in that massacre, smh not only did you represent yourselves badly but you disrespected your mothers as well..i'm a mom myself and it's devastating to know that your child, even in a place where their suppose to be protected, really aren't. i just wish that somebody, anybody, would've stopped it from occuring. as i said before, my condolenses goes out to you and your family..may GOD be with you through this tough trial
  • I live in KC it make me very sad that this has happen. I can't stop the tears right now. But I feel yes some parents has fail their children, but what about those that really try. Kids these day don't respect anyone or anything they just do as the want. I'm a single mother I was once ask if I wanted my son to respect me are fear me? My answer( I want him to fear me because respect is automatic I want him to fear what I will do to him so that might make him think of the choices he make. When I was little black people love each other. Now No LOve all we do is hurt each other. My nephew was murder in June 09 by what they called his friend, He held a gun up and pull the trigger and shot him in the head he was only 15 year old and I watch my nephew died after 2 weeks of life support. Tell me want kind of friend aims a gun at your head. These kids out here do what they want. They don't respect anyone. I saw this when my son was only 4 year old I feared then what the world would be like when he got to be 18-25 year old. It's so bad out here. I'm lucky because my son was shot just walking to his car THANK GOD HE WAS OK. my heart hurt so much because you never know who next.
  • I feel real bad for what happened to this young man. It really hurts and I dont know him. Im pretty sure the people that hit him with the board didnt mean to kill him. i do believe they should step up to the plate and admit what they did but at the same time I dont think they should be punished harshly because they all where fighting. I grew up in the Rochester City School District, which is a black majority district and I saw fights all the time. Even to the point where the basketball games in the whole district had to be canceled until they fount a way to make them safer. When people fight they do things they didnt expect to do. One life has already been taken and their dont need to be more. The kids that hit him still have lives in front of them too. I think they should get punished for what they did but it should be to an extent. I would hate to see a 13, 14, 15 year old in prison for countless years.
    • What these kids did to him was senseless and they should be punished to the full eztend of the law whether it be death then so be it he lost his life so why should they still get to live theres u must be kidding me u need a reality check what world are u from what if it was your child or brother would you have made the same stupid comment that u did just think about that!!!!!
    • Are you freaking kidding me????? that is RIDICULOUS!!! What if that would have been your child??? These kids came FREAKING prepared to fight (PRE-FREAKING MEDITATED)it was not like they just got into a fight because they had a problem. These kids need to get the MAX punishment and THINK long and hard about their lives because VIOLENCE is not the freaking answer to all problems!!! They had no worries in the world as to what mistake they were making at the time!! NOW, they need to accept the consequences and MAN up to the situation! They have another chance Derrion does not, nor does his family and friends!
    • i can't believe the garbage that i just read i grew up in the streets of chicago too those kids beat him like he was an animal in the street when in actuality they were the animals raised by wolves obviously kids like that thats not the first time they've done something like that the gangs teach them to act this way all the time so ppl fear them this is probably thefirst time they got caught how many other vicims has there been at the hands of these so-called kids and if not for them getting caught how many more could there have been LOCK THEIR ASSES UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!!PUT THE ANIMALS IN THE CAGES THEY SHOULD BE IN!! ITS A DAMN SHAME YOU DO YOUR JOB AS A PARENT AND BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE DIDN'T DO THEIRS YOU STILL GET HEARTACHE MY SYMPATHY'S TO THE FAMILY AND TO THAT POOR LIL SISTER THAT I'M SURE PROUDLY LOOKED UP TO HER BIG BROTHER. THE HEARTACHE AND PAIN FOR THEM HAS JUST STARTED AND WILL BE FOREVER IN THEIR MINDS AND THE BOYS THAT DID IT SHOULD SUFFER 100 DAYS TO 1 OF THEIRS THE BOY WAS DOWN AND THEY STILL BEAT HIM THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING THEY DIDN'T WANT HIM TO GET UP AND HE DIDN'T NOW TAKE THEM DOWN AND DON'T LET THEM UP!!!

  • everyone forget about the real education,GOD'S WORD.children need to know that being a good person is the fisrt education,than the doctors and lawyers come next.young parent bring your chidren up in the way they should go.you can't do it without GOD.
  • keeping it real?? r u serious...this is truly a very sad situation. We keep seeing our youth killing eachother everyday over some petty stuff. My heart and prayers go out to Derrion's family and I do hope that justice is served, regardless of the age of the kids who did it. They knew what they were doing and they deserve every single bit of time, because there is nothing they can do to bring him back.
  • i send my condolences to the Albert family..Im sorry to hear about your lost...This kind of violence is geting out of hand. I am sick and tired of hearing about our young people killing one another over what? It truely breaks my heart to hear teens on the news killing each other, and I know how Mrs. Albert feel because I have lost loves ones as well..Example BLair Delane Holt...I jus pray that God will continue to bless her and her family and my peace be with you at all times....Love Emily Kennedy...

    • WHAT AN IGNORANT COMMENT!!! IGNORANT NIGGERS LIKE YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Sammuel Williams- That was the dummest sh*t I could even imagine someone saying. This intelligent and bright young man lost his life for foolish. Since you feel that way take your STUPID ASS to prison with them because they asses are going to fry. NOW that's keeping it REAL BROTHA!!!!
    • WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN THE LAST TIME I CHECKED REALZZZZZZ OR HOW EVER MANY Z'S YOU ADDED WASNT EVEN A WORD! THIS WAS JUST A MISERABLE SAD DISPLAY OF MISGUIDED ADOLESCENT BEHAVIOR.

    • Samuel Williams ain't sh*t!

    • People, stay focused. Please do not get caught up in Samuel Williams. His parents obviously did not love him enough to teach him to respect others. He knows nothing about love. So rather than feed into his foolishness,lets pray for this individual as well as we keep the Albert family lifted in prayer.
