After the victim complied, at least two of the suspects punched the victim and chased him around the school campus, continuing to physically assault him.
The incident was recorded on a cell phone by a witness. The video was shared on social media and on March 25, 2019, the video was sent to school administrators and the Victorville Police Department.

Both were arrested and booked at High Desert Juvenile Detention Center for robbery. On March 27, 2019, the two remaining suspects were arrested and booked at the juvenile facility for robbery. The case will be forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office for review and consideration of further charges.
