PHOENIX (AP) — The number of suspects has grown to seven in the fatal beating of a teenage boy during a Halloween party in suburban Phoenix last year. Eighteen-year-old Treston John Billey is the most recent suspect in the Oct. 28 beating of 16-year-old Preston Lord in Queen Creek. Lord died from his injuries two days later. His death was ruled a homicide. Billey was being held on Friday in the Maricopa County Jail. An indictment released by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office accuses Billey and some of the other suspects of carrying out the beating while trying to take the property of a second victim.
