Laroy Battle (pictured in mugshot) was charged with two counts of first-degree murder in a June 20th shooting
Two teenage boys were shot dead on Chicago's South Side after asking the alleged gunman how tall he is while buying candy from a local store. Jasean Francis, 17, Charles Riley, 16, and another teenager went into a convenience store on June 20 and encountered 19-year-old Laroy Battle. The three boys reportedly noticed Battle's height and commented that they hoped to be that tall someday. They were later walking home from the convenience store when Battle allegedly approached them and opened fire. Deputy Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan told CBS 2: 'These individuals were with their friend. They’d just gone to a mall. They know the neighborhood. They don’t ever go out to the neighborhood because it’s so dangerous,' Francis was shot in the chest, back and left hand, while Riley was hit in the back and left leg. Scroll Down For Video
