Clarence King, age 18, was found dead in Chicago on July 21, 2016. His death followed a violent incident that began in Aurora, Illinois. King had been involved in a large fight at an apartment complex on July 15, 2016. After fleeing the scene, he was tracked down by several men, including Anthony Bills, who allegedly beat him unconscious, placed him in a car trunk, and transported him to Chicago.
King’s body was discovered on West End Avenue, and his death was ruled as being caused by the beating he endured. The motive behind the killing appears to be gang-related, and authorities later charged Bills with multiple counts of murder and kidnapping. Bills fled to Tennessee after the incident but was eventually apprehended, and his bail was set at $5 million. The investigation is ongoing, with the possibility of additional individuals being charged.
