They allegedly "punched" and "assaulted" each of the four victims, and "beat Liming until he was unconscious." They each "then beat him more" while "he was unconscious on the ground," the affidavit states.
The affidavit further alleges that each of the boys then repeatedly "stomped and kicked Liming" in his head.
Jones then allegedly took Liming’s friend’s cell phone as he tried to call 911. Meanwhile, Tyler and DeShawn Stafford "took Liming’s car and drove it to the other end of the lot" when Liming’s friends tried to take him to the hospital, the affidavit states. [/i][/b]
A simple beating would have been justified but what ended up happening wasn't just a fist fight. Beat him unconscious and then continued to stomp and kick him while he is knocked out on the ground. And then tried to prevent his friends from calling 9/11 and taking him to the hospital.
