He is now in a medically induced coma in critical condition . Relatives of the scalded victim said the two men accused him of stealing a PlayStation 3. Neighbors say the three teens were friends. 'They were friends. Everybody was supposed to be friends,' neighbor Laprell Grant told WSBTV. Kentaveus Watson, who is renting the apartment where the incident happened, said that he is friends with everyone who was involved in the attack and he's still shocked by the events that occurred. 'It scared me, really. Ever since it happened, I've been sleeping on the couch right where he got burned,' he said. Clay had been in jail for a burglary and was just released on a three-month program offered by a nonprofit in the area. Relatives of Clay (pictured) said that the two men who have been arrested for attacking him - 19-year-old Quintavious Barber and 18-year-old Malik Morton - accused Clay of stealing a PlayStation 3. Neighbors said the three men were friends . He was promised shelter and guidance by a minister in the program, but family members who did not want to be named said that that was not the case. 'He didn't have any supervision, none,' Clay's aunt told WSBTV. Clay did not go to a group home for shelter, but rather bounced from home to home of relatives and friends who were willing to take him in, family members said. 'I'd rather my nephew be in jail than to be here,' the aunt told WSBTV. Clay had been released from jail shortly before the incident and was bouncing from friends' and relatives' houses  to sleep. He was at his friend Kentaveus Watson's apartment (pictured) when he was burned .
