A grieving father is suing a Las Vegas school district, claiming it failed to protect his disabled son from deadly bullies. Seventeen-year-old Jonathan Lewis was beaten to death outside Rancho High School in November 2023.
Heartbreaking video shows a mob of teens kicking and stomping him until he was unconscious. “Love is the greatest strength,” his father said, remembering how Jonathan was trying to defend a friend.

The lawsuit alleges Clark County School District knew about ongoing tensions and previous fights involving the attackers. It claims the school ignored a known “gathering spot” for violence and failed to provide proper supervision or security. Jonathan’s father says this negligence cost his son’s life.
Four teens later pleaded guilty to manslaughter. His parents call the outcome “disgusting,” saying justice has not been served. Jonathan’s family described him as “loving, kind, and fiercely protective.” His death has left the community demanding answers—and change—so no child suffers the same fate.
