Five Florida teenagers are behind bars after police say they doused a 15-year-old with rubbing alcohol and set him on fire.
Officers say the teen was attacked because he stopped someone from stealing his father's bicycle.
The victim received burns on more than 80-percent of his body.
The teenage suspects range in age from 13 to 15.
Last month, four teenagers were arrested and charged with murder in the beating death of a Chicago teenager.
16-year-old Derrion Albert was walking home from school when he got caught in the middle of a fight between two neighborhoods.
Police say a group of teens kicked and struck him with splintered railroad ties.
In Mobile County, a 17-year-old from Theodore is facing murder charges.
Police say last month, Markus Lee shot and killed his cousin Blake Davis.
The shooting happened at a park on Diamond Road in Theodore as Davis tried to break up a fight.
Davis died at the hospital.

Some people can't believe teenagers are behaving this way. Mobile Juvenile Judge Edmund Naman recently told News Five: "Gun violence and gun crime alarm me to the point where it's hard to sleep at night some time."
