Two more people have been arrested in the recent beating of a 17-year-old male at a birthday party in Fort Bend County, bringing the total number of suspects facing charges to seven, authorities said Friday.
Four adults and one juvenile all were charged with assault Wednesday following a group attack that took place at a party on Nov. 1, Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office spokesman
Bob Haenel said in a written statement. A sixth suspect, a juvenile, was arrested Thursday. A seventh suspect, 19-year-old
Charles Foster of Mission Bend, was arrested at his home after authorities received several
Crime Stoppers tips.
'Appalling, disturbing'
According to the sheriff's office, the party in the Grand Mission subdivision grew in size when word about it circulated on social media. Many people who were not known to party planners showed up. When one of the female guests was being harassed by a group, she and her male escort decided to leave.
The 17-year-old male was followed to a nearby yard and kicked and struck in the face multiple times, authorities said. When a girl tried to intervene, she was assaulted and choked.
The attack, which occurred about 11:30 p.m., was captured on a home surveillance video.
A copy of the video aired by KTRK-TV shows a group of at least six men encircling the male victim, kicking him repeatedly as he lies on the ground.
Neither victim was hospitalized, Haenel said.
In a statement taken after the assault, the female victim recalled overhearing a suspect saying to the male victim on the night of the incident,
"We black people aren't like you black people," Sheriff
Troy Nehls said. The adult suspects who were arrested are African-American, as is the victim; the female victim is white.
"It's appalling, disturbing," Nehls said of the assault. "It's an utter lack of human decency."
Seeking public's help
Authorities on Thursday identified the adult suspects charged Wednesday as Kevin Rugumbira and Prince Jayesimi, both 18, and Moshood Sodeke and Larry Omodia, both 17. Only Rugumbira remained in jail Friday, as the others had made bail.
The 16-year-old suspect charged Wednesday was taken to the county's detention center.
The five who were charged Wednesday attend
Travis High School, located north of Richmond in the Fort Bend Independent School District.
An administrator at the high school declined to comment, but a spokeswoman for the school district said the students would be subject to "appropriate disciplinary action," which could include suspension or expulsion, depending on the charges.
Neither victim attends Travis High School, Nehls said. The party was for someone else.
Attorneys for the suspects could not be identified.
Authorities alleged Friday that Foster also stole property from the two victims. He faces two counts of robbery in the incident, as well as a felony charge of organized commercial theft out of Washington County, Fort Bend County authorities said.
