Malik Jones, 16, Nicholas Ayala, 17, and Anthony Malcolm, 18, were caught after the video of Jones fatally punching Delfino Mora was posted on Jones Facebook page, according to authorities.
The three were playing a game where the offender picks an innocent victim and knocks him out by striking him and likely robbing him as well, Assistant Cook County States Attorney Terry Clancy told Judge Israel Desierto in court Monday.
Similar attacks some resulting in death have previously been reported in Missouri, New Jersey and Decatur. The game also goes by the name Knockout King, and experts say it is a grab for attention.
Prosecutors did not mention the game Sunday when Jones appeared before a judge on first degree murder charges in the most recent case, but gave a more detailed account of the crime when his two alleged accomplices made their first appearance in court Monday.
They allege Jones struck the fatal blow and owns the cell phone used to film Moras murder in the alley on the 6300 block of North Artesian early July 10.

I’m guessing F.A.S. for the one on the right.
Given the choice in answers to 'Where's Dad?', 'in jail' is better than 'dead'.
I'm not going to be intimidated into not defending myself.

The deceased. Looks like he couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.
Is Barry going to the funeral? /sarc.
The victim must have been a “white” hispanic.
“and experts say it is a grab for attention.”
Then let the freakin’ experts get knocked out and robbed.
Again ,the usual suspects.,
Why do I even go to look?
Anyone still wonder why there are a disproportionate of blacks in our prison system?
>>The victim must have been a white hispanic.
Well, I guess it serves him right, then. /sarc
Just noticed he was disabled as well and was collecting cans to recycle when they got to him - trying to get a few bucks together. Of course his killers would consider themselves way above such menial labor.
Malik Jones, 16, Nicholas Ayala, 17, and Anthony Malcolm, 18, were caught after the video of Jones fatally punching Delfino Mora was posted on Jones' Facebook page...Murder one.
These idiots cannot grasp that they aren't just playing a game.
“Jones later confessed to throwing the punch that felled Mora, she added. Hes a member of the Latin Kings street gang, with a tattoo of the words Little Terror on his left arm and the words f-— you, pay me on one of his hands, according to a police report.”
16 year old murders 62 year old disabled father of 12 - I just don’t have words for it.
why would you make fun of a murder victim?
of course, we could make this a non issue by voting the bum out.....
That is what I intend to do.
Others here disagree.
But it’s ABO for me.
>>why would you make fun of a murder victim?
Make fun??? Please, get a clue.
