A medical examiner ruled the death of a 15-year-old boy burned alive in a Chicago alley a homicide Monday, The Cook County Medical Examiners Office reported. Firefighters responding to a garage fire in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago found the body of Demetrius Griffin, 15, burned to death, WPVI reported.
Autopsy results showed Griffin died of thermal injuries due to a fire started in the garbage can, which authorities says means he was alive when the fire started.
Polly Sykes, the victims mother, asked the communitys help in finding the killer.
Community, I need your help. They killed my baby out here in this alley. I need somebody. If you know something, please come forward. They took my life, Sykes said.
A group of Chicago pastors are offering a $7,500 reward to anyone who can provide information to track down Griffins killer, WLS reported.
He was a typical teenager. My wife was his Sunday school teacher when he was a child. He was baptized in the church, said Rev. Marshall Hatch, who knew his family for over 20 years.
Griffins murder is not a novelty in Chicago, where the citys homicide total is up to 468 deaths as of September 2016, Breitbart News reported.
Murders in Chicago in 2016 have shot up by 49 percent since the previous year and shooting incidents have shot up by 48 percent.
No one is in custody yet as Griffins case remains under investigation.

President Obama could not be reached/bothered to comment.
Chicago savage thugs don’t have to have guns to violently murder.
“Griffins murder is not a novelty in Chicago, where the citys homicide total is up to 468 deaths as of September 2016”
Yeah, but the burned alive in a trash can is definitely a new twist, “Chicago-style barbecue”.
Dreadful. RIP.
Maybe the murderer was one of the toddlers Hillary was talking about.
What a terrible way to die.
This is awful though if he had been shot it wouldn’t have even made the news
Its inspirational how president osama bin obama’s big leftist policies has improved, and lifted, the lives of inner city youth.
Is there plans to rename Chicago Obama City?
Almost like they are learning from ISIS.
That is simply awful. I’m thinking of some of the usual stupid/funny remarks, and can “lay off” them because pretty much everybody knows what they might be. Prayers for this young man’s family. I do hope and pray that the killers and their assistants are found. They deserve the death penalty, but I doubt the judges in Illinois permit justice to be served.
Dang good description of fascism!
WHAT!?!
No flies?
Quick question:
Which is safer, Chicago or Beirut?
The savages who did this should face the same fate. Subhuman animals.
Meanwhile, the Obamabastard and his surrogate Hillary, move on with undermining America.
Airbrushed out.
Chicago by far.
At least your corpse will be recovered.
What a horrible way to die. R.I.P.
I may be wrong, but I think the last person executed in Illinois was John Wayne Gacy.
My sister dated his last victim.
