Jonathan Lewis Jr , 17 , died in hospital days after he was beaten unconscious in an alleyway.

His killers, aged 16 and 17 at the time of the attack, were to be tried for second -degree murder in adult court.

But they admitted manslaughter in a plea deal that will see them spend an unspecified period in juvenile detention.

Victim 's mother, Melissa Ready , said: "There's literally no one being held accountable with true punishment".
