It appears the suspect became so enraged over this traffic argument that it escalated into deadly violence," Parker said. Hassanen, 17, was with a group of as many as 15 teens who had left their Sterling-area mosque between Ramadan prayers to get food at a McDonald's, Parker said. The suspect, 22-year-old Darwin Martinez Torres, drove up onto a curb and the group scattered, Parker said. "His anger over that earlier encounter then led to violence when he hit Nabra with a baseball bat," Parker said. ———This story has been corrected to reflect that two boys, not girls, described the attack to the AP.
