Las Vegas Police Search for Two Others Involved in Fatal Beating of Teen near High School

Las Vegas police are seeking the public's help in identifying two individuals who were involved in the fatal beating of a teenager near Rancho High School earlier this month. The incident occurred on November 1st and resulted in the death of 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis Jr. on November 7th. Eight juveniles, aged 13 to 17, have been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the attack. The fight reportedly broke out over stolen headphones and a stolen marijuana vape pen.

The police have released still images of the two individuals they are trying to identify. One is seen wearing a black hoodie, while the other has dark shaggy hair and a black shirt. At least some of the fight was recorded and shared on social media, showing a person taking a swing at someone before being swarmed by a group of teenagers who kicked and stomped them.

The father of the victim praised his son for trying to help a smaller child who was being bullied, calling him a "hero." Online donations for a memorial fund set up by the father have exceeded its goal by tens of thousands of dollars, with donors expressing their condolences and gratitude for Jonathan's bravery.

The investigation is ongoing, and the police are urging anyone with information about the incident or the two individuals in the released images to come forward.
