NORCROSS, Ga. (AP) -- Police say robbery likely was the motive for a deadly home invasion in the Atlanta suburb of Norcross that left a 15-year-old boy dead.
Norcross police say the six suspects arrested in connection with the killing targeted the home of Nicholas Jackson II and his family.
They identified robbery as the "preliminary motive" for the Thursday shooting.
Police say the men broke into the home and killed the high school freshman while he played a video game.
His sister was home and tried to revive Jackson with CPR after calling 911.
A funeral is planned for 1 p.m. Saturday at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church in Norcross.
