3 murder suspects appear in court

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Three teenagers charged in the murder of Demario Bailey, 15, appeared in court on Tuesday. Bailey was fatally shot while walking to basketball practice with his twin brother, Demacio.

Charged in the murder are brothers Deafro and Tarik Brakes, 17 and 16; Isiah Penn, 17; and Carlos Johnson, 17. All face murder, armed robbery and attempted robbery charges and will be tried as adults.

"This was a very adult crime with very adult consequences for everyone involved," Anita Alvarez said.

Prosecutors did not say which suspect allegedly pulled the trigger, but Tarik Brakes was the last suspect to be seen with the gun, they said.

"Initially he had it, but we don't know if he had it during the time of the alleged first-degree murder," David Peilet, Brakes' family attorney, said.

The Brakes brothers are being held without bond, as is Johnson, who appeared in court on Monday. Penn is being held on $2 million.
