MILWAUKEE (AP) — A 15-year-old boy died after being beaten as he waited for a bus near his school, police said. Authorities on Friday were seeking four or five males they believed were involved.
The victim, identified as Raheim Patrick, was a seventh-grader at Malcolm X Academy, according to officials with Milwaukee Public Schools. Officers were investigating whether he had an earlier altercation with an assailant, police said.
District spokesman Phil Harris said that the boy was released early from school because of a doctor's appointment and that he was waiting at a bus stop nearby about 1:50 p.m. Thursday when he was attacked.
