Chilling timeline lays bare harrowing final moments of Preston Lord as he was ... trends now
A new timeline lays bare the horror of the fatal attack against 16-year-old Preston Lord's by a group of teen delinquents in Arizona.
Lord was assaulted at a Halloween party last October and found on a nearby sidewalk in Queen Creek, a suburb of Phoenix.
Talan Renner, 17, is accused of being the bully who delivered the devastating 'hammer punches' that ended the young athlete's life. Witnesses told police Renner punched Lord at least four times as the victim was knocked to the ground, before kicking him at least once.
Renner then stepped away and allowed the other alleged teen delinquents, who call themselves the 'Gilbert Goons,' to each get a turn assaulting Lord.
The other six murder suspects then took turns stomping, punching and even humping Lord as he laid on the ground, according to a police report and as reported by The Arizona Republic.

Repeat offenders William 'Owen' Hines, 18, and Dominic Turner, 20, was seen kicking Lord. Jacob Meisner, 17, charged in other Goon assaults, was also seen hitting Lord multiple times.
Treston Billey, 18, another Goon previously accused in various assaults, was the last to attack, jumping on Lord's head as he yelled: 'F*** you, pu***!'
Then, Taylor Sherman, 19, opened Snapchat on his phone to record rescuers dragging Lord's body out of the street.
He said: 'Slumped the f*** out. Haha.'
Talyn Vigil then ran to his car and told his girlfriend: 'I just knocked out a kid cold ... we have to go, we have to leave.'
Lord died from his brain injuries at the hospital two days later, but police did not make any arrests for months, until March, sparking frustration in a community that has been rocked by teen violence over the last years.
All seven suspects have pled not guilty to Lord's murder, and all but Vigil, who posted bail last week, remain in jail awaiting trial.

By 9.40pm, the Goons had caught up to Lord and his friends, and Dominic Turner snatched a $10 gold chain from the boy who had recorded the previous altercation
Sherman told police that as they left the scene, Renner said: 'I might have hospitalized that kid... I hit him pretty hard.'
Lord's friends told police that while they did not know any of the attackers, Billey zeroed in on one of Lord's friends after he began recording another altercation involving the murder suspects.
The boy told Billey he deleted the video, but the Goons continued targeting Lord and his friends, who tried retreating away from the party but were followed by the teen delinquents.
As they chased them, the Goons were reportedly singing a disturbing tone that went: ' Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye.'
