Eight teenagers have been charged with murder after the fatal beating of a fellow student, who agreed to fight the group in a row over stolen wireless headphones.
Jonathan Lewis, 17, was set upon by a mob of 10 on November 1. He died in hospital on November 7, and on Tuesday the charges were announced.
Lt. Jason Johansson of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said all the people involved — believed to be 10 — were students of Rancho High School.
Johansson described a viral video showing the beating as 'void of humanity'.
Lewis's father said he 'can't watch' the clip.
Johansson said that a citizen found Lewis unresponsive after the beating, which happened in an alleyway near the school, and brought him back to the school.
Lewis was then taken to UMC where doctors determined that he had suffered 'non-survivable head trauma,' Fox 5 Vegas reported.
Johansson said that the fight was over a pair of stolen wireless headphones and possibly a vape pen, which were taken from friends of the victim. All parties involved agreed to meet in the alley to fight, according to police.
'As soon as a punch is thrown, ten subjects immediately swarm him,' he said.
He added that the department was able to identify approximately ten subjects that were involved in the murder and eight of those have been 'positively identified' as suspects.
Johansson said the process is underway for the eight to be charged as adults.
LVMPD will be releasing photos of two individuals who they want to find, who participated in the beating but have not yet been identified.
Johansson appealed for anyone else with video of the fight to come forward.

I’m glad they are being charged as adults.
Let us know when they are charged with a hate crime.
The “media” dildos have a lot of problems with math. All they are taught in college is hatred of Americans and America.
Was it them,Yogi???
It’s always them,Boo Boo....Stolen from another freeper....It’s right on the money
I'm confused, one person agreed to fight 10 people? That cannot be right.
I think Dian Fossey studied the superior species of the two…
“Johansson said that the fight was over a pair of stolen wireless headphones and possibly a vape pen, which were taken from friends of the victim.”
That what the darkies told him? The skinny little nerdy white boy stole the headphones and vape pen from a member of the local Jane Goodall fan club? Then he agreed to meet them for a fight? Bullcrap... I’ll need serious proof of that.
I believe you’re right. We’re going up against primitives in this day and age.
Yes I read it
“LVMPD will be releasing photos of two individuals who they want to find, who participated in the beating but have not yet been identified.”
wanna bet those kids already have a record with LVMPD? Wanna bet they were all well known to them?
“I’m confused, one person agreed to fight 10 people? That cannot be right. “
I don’t buy it either.
All parties involved agreed to meet in the alley to fight, according to police.

I’m with you… I don’t believe that for one second. The writer is likely mischaracterizing what the police said.
No hate crime charge?!?
You can lay all of this at the feet of George Floyd. These kids, like millions of other black Americans have been weaponized by the woke media establishment.
“wanna bet those kids already have a record with LVMPD? Wanna bet they were all well known to them?”
Wanna bet they haven’t identified them? Poor detail. poor lighting (mixed sun and shade), lots of movement, several hoodies.
