Charlie Ely went to meet the tragic teen after his ex-girlfriend Amber Wright had texted him telling him she wanted to get back together.
But when they got back to Ely's home he was set upon by Wright's boyfriend, Michael Bargo, now 19 and three others and beaten with an axe.
Cops say that Bargo, 19, then shot the 15-year-old eight times, placed his battered body into sleeping bag and burned him to cinders.
