( CNN ) -- The family of a Chicago teenager whose beating death was caught on video hope that the attention the incident has garnered will spur healing locally , a relative said at a news conference Wednesday evening . Derrion Albert , 16 , was beaten to death last week . His death was captured on video . `` It should 've never happened , but it 's never too late , '' said Rose Braxton , great-aunt of 16-year-old Derrion Albert . `` It 's time for healing to start getting our communities together so this wo n't happen to anyone else 's child ever again . '' Four suspects have been charged with first-degree murder in the September 24 killing of Albert , and police say they are looking for three more people in connection with the beating captured on videotape . Prosecutors said that Albert , an honors student , was an innocent bystander who ended up in the middle of a street fight between two factions of students from Fenger High School . The incident caught the attention of the White House , too . The footage of the incident , which shows Albert being hit by a railroad tie , `` is `` chilling '' and one of the most shocking things `` you can ever see , '' White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Wednesday . President Obama 's concern over the killing did n't provide additional comfort to the family , `` but I 'm glad that it 's out there so everyone can see it and they know that , yes , this is happening , '' Braxton said . `` This was vicious . How do you just come out and decide that you 're going to attack someone with a two-by-four ? '' Braxton said . She spoke to reporters together with area community and church leaders . `` Maybe this will wake up and shake up people , '' the Rev . Jesse Jackson said at the press conference , noting that three teens were killed in Chicago this week . Braxton said her message to the White House was simply , `` Do something . '' `` We need to get to our children , '' she said . `` Why are they so angry , so full of venom , that you would even consider doing something like that to another human being ? '' Albert 's funeral was scheduled for Saturday at 10 a.m. at Greater Mount Hebron Baptist Church in Chicago . An amateur videotape shot by a witness , which has been broadcast widely , showed the attack unfolding . A local TV station that received the tape turned it over to police . When school let out at 2:50 p.m. on Thursday , Albert was on his way to a bus stop when two groups of students converged on the street , said Tandra Simonton , spokeswoman for the Cook County States Attorney . The factions , one that lived near the Altgeld Gardens housing development and one in an area known as `` The Ville , '' began fighting after an earlier shooting that police called gang-related . According to Simonton , Albert was approached by two members of `` The Ville '' faction and struck in the head with a long wooden railroad tie , then punched in the face . After being briefly knocked unconscious , Albert regained consciousness and tried to move from the fight , but was then attacked by a second group of five members from the opposing faction , Simonton said . Albert was taken to Roseland Community Hospital and then to Advocate Christ Hospital and Medical Center , where he was pronounced dead . Chicago Police Superintendent Jody Weis said he asked the U.S. Secret Service to try to enhance the video so that others involved in the fight can be identified . Weis pleaded with anyone who may have information not to withhold it . `` The culture of 'no-snitch ' is unacceptable , '' he said . `` On Thursday , a young man with a promising future lost his life to senseless violence , yet few have come forward . '' Authorities are also considering charging people who participated in the fight but did not come into contact with Albert , he said . Asked about the killing as Obama prepares to travel to Copenhagen , Denmark , to lobby the International Olympic Committee to award Chicago the 2016 Games , Gibbs described the videotape of the attack as `` among the most shocking that you can ever see . '' `` The killing of an honor student ... who 's beaten to death , is chilling , chilling video , '' Gibbs said . Obama has emphasized parental responsibility in addressing chronic problems in low-income urban communities including school dropouts , drug use , gang activity and violence . Gibbs offered no explanation for the Chicago killing , saying , `` in many ways a lot of these crimes are amazingly hard to explain . '' Whatever led to this specific attack , `` you ca n't regulate the hard issue , '' Gibbs said . `` This is not a problem that government alone , as the president often says , at any level is going to be able to solve , '' Gibbs said . `` This is going to take community involvement , it 's going to take parental involvement , it 's going to take the involvement of everyone to address what is obviously a sad and shocking problem .
