MORENO VALLEY, Calif. (AP) - Authorities have arrested two people and are seeking a third in connection with a violent assault on three teenage boys at a Southern California skate park.
The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department says Moreno Valley deputies learned Sunday about a video circulating on social media that showed the victims being attacked without provocation while many onlookers stood by without intervening.
Investigators reviewed Moreno Valley’s city-wide camera system and found that it recorded the Saturday night attack in its entirety, showing that it was premeditated.
