A Las Vegas high school student died after he was severely
beaten by a group of around 15 attackers.
Jonathan Lewis, a 17-year-old student of Rancho High School,
died Tuesday, less than two weeks after an attack by the group
of students outside the school, according to a KLAS report.
The teen’s father, also named Jonathan Lewis, confirmed his
son’s death to the station.
The grieving dad said his son kept to himself and lived in Las
Vegas with his mother, though the teen planned to move to live
with his father in Austin, Texas.
The father also expressed disappointment in the fight that led
to the death of his son, saying that the “children don’t even
know what they’re doing half the time.”
The father said he hopes the incident can be part of a
conversation around youth violence in the city.
Lewis added that he loves his children “with all my heart” and
called it “unimaginable” that such violence “could ever come to
this point.”
“I hope there’s a way they can find forgiveness in their heart
and find a way to be able to come to terms with what they’ve
done,” he said.
Lewis said the teen’s family has been told by investigators that
they plan to charge several students who were involved in the
fight with murder.
The student was put on life support with the hope of survival,
his father said, but eventually succumbed to his injuries.
The Las Vegas Metro Police Department’s homicide unit is
investigating the case, though no arrests have been made so far.
The Las Vegas Metro Police Department did not immediately
respond to a Fox News request for comment.
