Family members are demanding justice and hate crime charges after a high school student was brutally beaten by a mob at an impromptu Palmdale rock concert.
Video of the violent attack, which has since gone viral, shows 17-year-old Elijah Green curled up on the dirt while a group of at least four people, believed to be adults, repeatedly stomp on, kick and punch him while others are heard supporting the fight from out of frame.
Audio from the footage also captures the offenders using racial slurs amidst the physical assault.
“We were in the hospital watching the video,” said Elijah’s mother, Roneika Green, during a Monday morning news conference. {snip}

The incident allegedly happened last month after some people in attendance claimed Elijah had touched a woman inappropriately the night before. However, Roneika denies that, and instead said her son tripped and leaned against the woman to try to break his fall.

Najee Ali, a local civil rights activist and Senior Organizer with Los Angeles Metropolitan Churches, said Elijah’s family reached out to him to serve as their spokesperson and advocate.
“The racially motivated assault of Elijah Green is one of the most horrifying hate crimes against a young Black person I’ve ever witnessed,” stated Ali. {snip}
