LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A 15-year-old boy pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter Wednesday morning. He was one of the teens accused in the group beating of a 17-year-old Rancho High School student who later died.
The 15-year-old’s name, details of his plea agreement, or how much time he will serve will not be released due to his juvenile status in the court system. However, Clark County Juvenile District Court Judge Amy Mastin said, under the plea deal, the 15-year-old pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and will be committed to Child Correctional Services.
