Las Vegas police have release two images of teenage thugs that are wanted for the murder of a schoolboy - after the District Attorney defended the decision to try a 13-year-old among eight others that were arrested as an adult.
Jonathan Lewis, 17, was set upon by a mob of 10 on November 1 outside Rancho High School, Las Vegas. He died in hospital on November 7 - and on Tuesday, eight arrests and charges were announced.
The teenagers, ranging from ages 13 to 18, were charged with murder after the fatal beating of fellow student Lewis, who was remembered as a 'gentle young man.'
The fatal fight erupted over stolen wireless headphones and possibly a vape pen.
Now, police are asking for help to identify two more people of interest.
Lt. Jason Johansson of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said all the people involved — believed to be 10 — were students of Rancho High School.
The teenager's cause of death was listed as 'complications of multiple blunt force injuries' and his manner of death was confirmed as homicide.
Among the eight teens who have already been charged is a 13-year-old - who has been put forward to be tried as an adult, DA Steve Wolfson said.
Wolfson defended his decision: 'We’re not talking about a six-year-old. We’re not talking about an eight-year-old.' He said the nature of the brutal murder is what made him make the final call.
The District Attorney also said that there are videos of the beating which are far worse than the already-horrific smack down posted on social media.
All eight defendants - which include a set of siblings - appeared in Clark County Family Court electronically on Wednesday.

Looks like a couple of hispanics who are probably here illegal. Back to Mexico, I’d imagine.
8 against 1 is a fight?
More media lies...
Condolences to family and friends of Jonathan Lewis.
Sixty years in prison, and they can think about what they did.
A whole generation of feral and dangerous children, raised without ethics, morality, or God. It’s very frightening.
We don’t need no stinking trial, there is a whole lot of desert surrounding Vegas.
I got the crap beat out of me by 8 blacks and a Puerto Rican when I wouldn’t get off a bus as per their instructions. This was back in 71 in my early Army days. Believe me, it wasn’t a “fight”. However, I was the last one to get off the bus when the driver dropped me off at the hospital.
Joe Biden, in his inaugural address, an event usually used for the most aspirational and lofty speeches in American history, declared the great enemy of the USA is “white supremacy.”
We are completely f****ed
This is just unbridled rage, birthed from arrogance and a feeling they’re untouchable. But it’s also because they know the white kid was right and they were pissed that he called them out for their behavior.
Pure evil.
I do not care if they think about anything as long as they never get out of prison.
60 years-the fence was cheaper. San ounce of prevention...
minorities fight in packs or is it tribes? Oh well, either work
Anyone in Spec Ops will tell you that ‘if you find yourself in a fair fight, you’ve fouled up’...
"Jonathan Lewis Jr., 17, was "involved in a physical altercation with approximately 15 individuals" a short distance from Rancho High School on Nov. 1, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan."
15 against 1.
Apparently 7 of those 15 aren't even being charged...
Charge all of them with murder, and hate crimes. Try them as adults, and execute them.
Supreme Court won’t allow execution...but yeah, not a bad idea.
So, family court. That should tell you what kind of outcome to expect.
