The incident happened at Landmark Middle School in Moreno Valley on September 16, and left the victim in hospital in critical condition for nine days.But on Wednesday, Riverside County Sheriff's Department shared the sad news the teen, named Diego, was pronounced clinically dead.
"Rigorous medical intervention and treatment efforts at an area hospital were unsuccessful," police said. "Preparations by Diego's family are underway for organ donation to transform this tragedy into the gift of life for other children." The two suspects who were arrested after the attack remain in custody. Because of their age, their identities have not been released to the public.
In the cellphone video, shot outside the school's main building, one boy aggressively squares up to Diego, who appears to try talk him down, never raising his hands. After momentarily turning away, the boy suddenly swings a right hook at Diego, catching him across the jaw and causing him to stumble back.
But it is a sucker second punch behind the ear from an unseen assailant that causes Diego to crumple sideways to the floor, smashing his head off a concrete pillar.
