Cops: 9 people arrested, charged in Ga. teen's death in brawl

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Authorities say nine people have been charged with murder and another is being sought after a teenager was stabbed to death in a massive, chaotic brawl that involved baseball bats, pipes, knives and other weapons near Augusta.

Richmond County Sheriff Richard Roundtree says the killing of 18-year-old Demajhey Bell on March 18 was "the epitome of a senseless murder." Bell died Sunday at a hospital.

A woman told sheriff's deputies that between 30 and 50 teens armed with baseball bats, pipes, knives and other weapons showed up to fight her 15-year-old daughter.

The Augusta Chronicle posted video recorded from bystanders that shows girls fighting, boys attacking people with bats, and an out-of-control Dodge Charger that nearly runs over people.

Authorities said one man's arm was shattered with a baseball bat.
