THE DEATH penalty is being sought for one of the group of thugs accused of luring Seath Tyler Jackson to an abandoned house and battering him to death.
Prosecutor's claim Michael Bargo masterminded the twisted plot, which saw the youngster's ex-girlfriend text message him, asking to meet at the scene.
Then, along with pals Justin Soto, 20; Charlie Kay Ely, 18; Amber E. Wright, 15; Kyle Hooper, 16, Bargo beat him with an axe handle and shot him twice, in what must have been an excruciatingly painful death.
The vicious gang stuffed his body in a sleeping bag and burned it in a fire pit before dumping his remains in paint cans.
