"Mean looks" between groups of teens Tuesday night sparked a confrontation that led to the shooting deaths of two teens, Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said Thursday. Two other teens -- Jarrad Beard, 19, and his 16-year-old brother -- were arrested after the shootings. Dyer said the brothers, who were booked on two counts of murder each, are gang members. Beard was booked into the Fresno County Jail, while his brother was booked into the Juvenile Justice Center. Before announcing the arrests, Dyer expressed his condolences to the families of shooting victims Justin Hesketh, 18, and Brandon Moore, 16, both of Fresno. Hesketh and Moore were not associated with any gang, police said. "This was a senseless act of violence," Dyer said. "It all stemmed from mean looks, and now two teenagers are dead."

And, hopefully, two others will soon be, too.

Nah, the 16-year old, who is not pictured anywhere, is in juvee. He'll be back on the street in no time.
