An 18-year-old Wisdom High School student has been arrested and charged for an alleged brutal beating of one of his classmates. Here's what happened
Jeffson Ventura-Rodriguez was arrested Monday and charged with assault enhanced by hate crime for an incident that occurred on Nov. 10, less than two miles from the school campus.
“This allegedly arose out of some ongoing conflict between Latino and Afghani students that’s been going on since October,” the magistrate judge said.“The safety and well-being of our students is our top priority. Due to the Family Education Right’s Privacy Act , HISD will not be providing additional information at this time,” a spokesperson for the district wrote in an email to KPRC 2.
“It worries me because I was very happy bringing my child here, but now I’m not so sure. When you go to work, you need your kids to be at a safe place,” said Sonia Espinosa, whose daughter attends Wisdom High School.“It doesn’t really matter what it is. It’s part of their culture and they have to respect it. Period,” Espinosa said.
