This latest arrest follows the earlier apprehension of 13-year-old Haiden Beauvais on May 15, who was charged with principal to aggravated battery. Investigators allege that Beauvais was the orchestrator behind the attack.
The incident, which occurred on Wednesday, May 14, at approximately 3:39 p.m. in the area of Courtland Boulevard and Hanford Drive, involved a 15-year-old male victim who was reportedly “jumped” by multiple individuals.
A deputy in the vicinity responded to the scene within two minutes of the Live 911 call, providing immediate aid to the victim by applying a bandage to control bleeding.
