He also had a "deep passion for soccer" and enjoyed riding his bike, playing video games and "hanging out with friends, often around a fire in the backyard," it said.

The three suspects are charged with felony murder, aggravated manslaughter, robbery and weapons offenses, the prosecutor's office said.
Their names and ages were not disclosed.
The charges, filed on May 21 and May 22, are only allegations. No one has been convicted in the case.
Two of the suspects encountered DeGeorge before the shooting, then went to the third suspect's home, the prosecutor's office alleged. It said one juvenile then directed DeGeorge to meet the other suspects in Millville.
