Probe into mob beating and death of 17-year-old in Las Vegas ‘far from over’ as police reveal murder charges for 8 teens

A ninth juvenile suspect was arrested in the fatal beating of a 17-year-old boy whose family said he was defending someone being bullied outside a Las Vegas high school as detectives sought help to identify an additional “person of interest” in the case.

The juvenile was arrested and booked into the Clark County Juvenile Hall for open murder, police said in a news release. Officers did not give a name.

The individual being sought was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and khaki pants, they said.

Earlier this month, Law&Crime reported eight teenagers — ages 13 to 17 — had been arrested and charged with murder in the death of Jonathan Lewis, whose vicious beating by a mob of students on Nov. 1 was captured on video that an officer called extremely disturbing.
