Derrion Albert was just one of six teenagers who were murdered from Thursday through Sunday, according to a RedEye analysis of preliminary police data.

Eleven teenagers -- 10 males and one female -- have been homicide victims this month, RedEye found. Ten of these victims were shot to death, while Albert was beaten to death, information from the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office showed.

Teenagers have accounted for about 30 percent of the homicide victims so far this month, a rise from 14 percent in August and 23 percent in July.
