FACTS AND PROCEDURE
On the night of November 25, 2012, the minor was eating at a restaurant with his
cousin and uncle, along with several other family members. The victim was with his
girlfriend at the restaurant, sitting on a bench waiting for their takeout order to be ready.
The minor and his cousin were either laughing at the victim or staring at his girlfriend.
The victim told his girlfriend to wait outside in the car. The victim stood on the other
side of a salsa bar from the minor and his cousin and spoke to them. The minor’s uncle
got up and approached the victim from the front. The minor and his cousin went around
the victim to stand behind him. The three males hit and punched the victim for three to
four minutes before first an acquaintance intervened and then police arrived.
On January 28, 2013, the People filed a juvenile petition in the Los Angeles
County Juvenile Court charging the minor with misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor
disturbing the peace.
On February 25, 2013, the juvenile court found the allegations true and transferred
the matter to San Bernardino County for disposition.
