The Vermilion Police Department and the Firelands School District are investigating exactly what happened at a high school football player’s house party in August.
16-year-old Ella Wojciechowski claims a group of Firelands High School football players assaulted her brother and their Black teammate while hurling racist slurs at him.
Ella said she watched one of the partygoers go up to the Black teen and put him in a chokehold while yelling racial slurs. She said she held her phone down and started recording. She shared that audio clip with 19 Investigates. “When she told me everything, I was like this is actually really messed up,” said Ella’s brother, Colin.
Colin claims he stepped in between a kid who was screaming in his sister’s face to tell him to back off. “I didn’t take any swings at all because going into the situation I knew that there was a chance that it could escalate being that I’ve heard the nature of these kids,” he said. “He didn’t give me that impression whatsoever,” Ella said. “He had tears rolling down his face and he said how he hated how much these players treated him.”
