Carl Hill, 20, died August 16 as a result of a brain injury due to blunt force trauma to the head. He was a tribal member who worked at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino.

Cory Adam, 17; Kevin Stolarcyk, 22; and Bradley Stanistreet, 17, are accused of beating Hill. Adam allegedly stuck a pool ball inside a sock and used it to beat Hill.

Hill leaves behind a young daughter. His girlfriend was pregnant with a second child.
