LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The father of a 17-year-old killed by a mob of fellow students is suing the Clark County School District for negligence and wrongful death.
Jonathan Lewis Junior was kicked and punched on Nov. 1, 2023, in an alley near Rancho High School. He died one week later of severe brain trauma from the beating.
Nine students were arrested, and all took plea deals, which kept them in the juvenile justice system, where they avoided serious prison time.
According to the lawsuit, CCSD was aware of the “tensions between Jonathan and his assailants and the pattern of aggressive behavior of his assailants prior to the attack and death of Jonathan.”
