[3][11] Following that, the students agreed to meet in a back alley around a corner from campus to fight, which happened after classes on Wednesday, November 1, 2023.

[3] A video of the brawl shows Lewis taking off his shirt to prepare for the fight,[8][12] before being swarmed, pushed against a fence and forced onto the ground, where he is punched, kicked and stomped on by 10 individuals.

[5][6][7][8][9][10] After the assault, Lewis was found badly beaten and unconscious by a person who carried him back to campus, where the school staff called 911.

An autopsy performed by the Clark County coroner's office determined that the cause of death was blunt force trauma.

[9][10][13] Four of the teenagers, identified as Gianni Robinson, Damien Hernandez, Treavion Randolph and Dontral Beaver, were scheduled to be tried as adults since they were in the age range of 16 to 17.

[18][19] Lewis' mother has criticized the deal, which she stated she was not notified of, telling KLAS-TV "You cannot jump on a human being's head, stomp on him, and think that they're going to remain alive after.

She also said "There is no justice for my son Jonathan Lewis, that was stomped to death and murdered while 20 people stood there and did nothing more than film it and broadcast it to social media.
