Nicholas Ayala, 17, and Anthony Malcolm, 18, were each charged with first-degree murder and robbery in the slaying of Delfino Mora.
Both Ayala and Malcolm each took turns using a cell phone camera to record the Tuesday morning beating that killed Mora.
Ayala, of the 6300 block of North Talman Avenue, and Malcolm, the 5500 block of North Broadway, are expected to appear before a judge Monday.
In court earlier in the day, Malik Jones, 16, of the 2400 block of West Thorndale Avenue, was was ordered held without bail by Judge Adam Bourgeois for the first-degree murder charge. Jones, charged as an adult, is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing Monday.
Mora, of the 6000 block of North Washtenaw Avenue in the West Rogers Park neighborhood, was found unconscious but breathing in an alley in the 6300 block of North Artesian Avenue just before 8 a.m. Tuesday. He was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston in critical condition and died at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday An autopsy by Cook County medical examiner's office found that the 5-foot-7-inch Mora died from blunt head trauma in an assault.
Prosecutors didn't identify Ayala or Malcolm by name in court, but did detail their alleged roles in the attack.
Jones was with two others when he confronted Mora Tuesday morning, asking him what he had in his pockets, prosecutors said. Jones then punched the victim in the jaw and he fell to the ground, hitting his head on the concrete.
The attack was videotaped on the defendant’s cell phone by one of the other individuals and was later put on Jones' Facebook page, prosecutors said. Jones had given his phone to that person before confronting Mora.
The attack happened about 5 a.m. Tuesday. A passerby found Mora three hours later with blood streaming out of his nostrils and vomit next to his head.
A witness who knows Jones saw the video and passed it on until it eventually was seen by a co-worker of the victim's son, prosecutors said. The co-worker then got in touch with the victim's son, who identified his father in the video, prosecutors said. The video was then taken to police by witnesses.
Jones, who officials say is a gang member, was arrested Saturday in southwest suburban Orland Hills with the cell phone. A search warrant was obtained and police seized the video as well.
Prosecutors also said that Jones admitted to detectives that he had hit Mora.

Children of the devil. Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy, but Jesus comes so that anyone accepting him may receive eternal life, peace, joy and forgiveness Of sins.
Horribly heartbreaking. These are not humanbeings ... but lower than animals. To beat a senior to death ... my heart goes out to the entire Mora family. What a senseless way to lose a loved one!
Fucking piles of shit just wait there's a god up above Ull get urs
all the crime in the city is pretty much blacks when ever u hear of some one shot robbed or beat up in a flash mob It's always blacks but the government don't want the immigrants hear in this country dam we should let them stay they atleast contribute to the economy what do blacks do but Rob steel kill and destroy get rid of them don't get me wrong not all blacks are like that what we really need It's the death penalty back make one example poor Mr mora may u rest in peace descanse en paz
When will we as human beings realize that this is not a black, white or Hispanic problem this is an American problem. Grow please!! And a brain is a terrible thing to waste. Stop wasting time and get your education. Steel? Enough said...
Instead of posting racist comments and gathering other articles on this story lets explore the logical question of "what is a 16 yr old Latin King gang member and two others whom picture shown doing out at 5am" . Also what is the connection with Jones arrest being made in Orland Hills?
damn that is fucked up i used to be around that area and i know them kids
It is a fucking shame what kids do to get money.
Poor man have to lose his life in such a horrible matter. My prayers go out to the Mora family and as of those children I hope they get what they deserve in jail and I hope they remember that there is a god out there and what comes around goes around.
It is about race hispanic commit crime but in all reality blacks commit way more murders or crime in general than any other race it is just reality go to there neighborhood emptey lots bored up building etc. thats were most crime are committed
It most certainly is NOT a Latin King World. Gang members are weak little pussies who contribute nothing to the real world. A real man goes to school and works his ass off so he can take care of his family, and contribute to society.
Latin Kings just want to take from everyone.
Don't have any money? Lets go rob someone or steal someones property. Or better yet go beat up a senior citizen and murder him for $60.
You can't even spell the word Dumb (you dum fuck!).
This shit happened in my neighborhood. This is where my child walks to school! How dare you monkeys do this to innocent people in my neighborhood!
bored up buildings? emptey lots? there nieghborhood? most crime are committed? Instead of practicing racism TRY AN EDUCATION....If you can't spell,read or write you should not be debating anything. Lack of education is a huge factor in all of this. THat means you're part of the problem.. DUMMY!!!
Them ugly ass lowlifes, hate how ugly ass Ayala looks, and that other ugly ass next to him. I hope you 2 get treated like bitches at the county and everywhere you go you're being treated how you both did. MR MORA. an inoccent man who just wanted to pass time. I hope the courts have no mercy on you and gives you life without parole.
