Eight teenagers have been charged with murder after the fatal beating of a fellow student in a row over stolen wireless headphones.
Jonathan Lewis, 17, was attacked by a mob of 10 on November 1. He died in hospital on November 7.
On Tuesday, November 14, 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.
'There's a high likelihood that there's additional video out there that we don't have,' he said, urging parents to talk to their children about what happened and not 'put your head in the sand'.
Lewis' father, Jonathan Lewis Sr, who lives in Austin, Texas, said his son was targeted in the melee after rushing to help another student being picked on by the bullies.
He said Jonathan was initially attacked by a few students who the 17-year-old shook off 'because he was so strong.'
'But then all the other kids joined in and beat him to death after that,' he added to NewsNation.
