Three teenagers and an adult have been charged with murder in Georgia after a mother found her 15-year-old son shot to death inside an abandoned residence following Halloween night.
The Albany Police Department said investigators arrested 22-year-old Detravion Parke, as well as two 15-year-olds and a 16-year-old in connection with the death of Austin Payne, 15.
All four suspects were charged with murder and transported to the Dougherty County Jail, according to police.
Officers responded to the 800 block of Cameo Lane in Albany on Nov. 1, where they discovered Payne dead inside an abandoned home, police said. His mother found him by tracking his location via cellphone after he failed to return home on Halloween, according to WALB.

According to WALB, investigators reviewed surveillance footage, cellphone records and witness statements to reconstruct the events leading up to Payne’s death.
