ANDERSON, Ind. (WISH) - Two teenagers are facing attempted murder charges after a 15-year-old was badly beaten with a baseball bat Wednesday in Anderson.
Anderson Police arrested 18-year-old Donavan W. Ball, of Anderson, and a 17-year-old from Chicago. Both face a preliminary charge of attempted murder, a Class A felony.
The 15-year-old boy was attacked in the 600 block of East 22nd Street, according to police. He had extensive head injuries but was able to tell officers details about his attackers.
Investigators found Ball and the 17-year-old later than night in the 1000 block of Indiana Avenue in Anderson. Police say both the teens resisted arrest but were taken into custody.
Police officials said Friday the 15-year-old has multiple skull fractures and brain trauma — injuries considered to be life-threatening. He’s at St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis.
