Douglas County Teen Killed in Beating Remembered
Bobby Tillman

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ga - Mouers gathered Friday to try and comfort the family of Bobby Tillman, the Douglas County teenager who was beaten to death at a party last weekend.

Tillman was killed on Sunday while dozens of bystanders watched. Authorities said he did not know his attackers. They apparently targeted Tillman after one of the suspects was hit by a woman at the party and vowed to strike the next man who passed by.

Friends and family attended Friday's visitation at the Willie Watkins funeral home.

Even people who did not know the teen showed up to pay their last respects, saying they hope other teens lea from this tragedy.

Tillman's funeral is Saturday at 11:00 a.m. at Siloam Church Inteational on Roosevelt Parkway in College Park.
The four men charged with Tillman’s murder say they are innocent.
