(CNN) -- Four teens are facing murder charges after a fifth teen was beaten to death at a Georgia house party that got out of control, authorities said Sunday.
Horace Damon Coleman, 19, Emanuel Benjamin Boykins, 18, Quantez Devonta Mallory, 18, and Tracen Franklin, 19, face one felony murder count each, according to Lt. Bruce Ferguson with the Douglas County Sheriff's office.
They are accused of killing Bobby Maurice Tillman, 18, at a house party in metro Atlanta late Saturday or early Sunday morning.
Before the attack, one of the teens reportedly told his friends he was going to hit the next person he saw, said Ferguson.
Sheriff Phil Miller told CNN affiliate WSB the assault on Tillman was unprovoked. He was a "little guy, 18 years old, 5-foot-6, weighed 125 pounds," Miller said about the victim.
"And they beat him up and stomped him and killed him," he added.
Police arrived on scene early Sunday morning. They were called by the mother of the girl who had hosted the party, Ferguson said. Police took 57 witnesses in for questioning.
Ed Stephens, who lives near where the party took place, watched the brutal attack from his bedroom window, reported WSB.
"I just thought he was hurt. I never thought that his life was ending," said Stephens.
