Five Florida teenagers have been charged in the vicious, caught-on-video mob beating of a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — the site of one of the nation’s worst school shootings.
The fifth teen linked to the savage Dec. 12 beating turned himself in at the Coral Springs Police Department on Monday morning — with cops still looking for one more suspect, WPLG-TV News reported.
The disturbing video first posted by TMZ shows a lone teenager, who has not been identified, being attacked by a half-dozen students who kicked and punched him repeatedly — until one young brute hurls him to the pavement head-first.
The victim suffered a skull fracture and other injuries.
Officials at the Parkland school identified the alleged attackers, and police obtained arrest affidavits Thursday.
“The safety of our community and schools remains our top priority,” the department said in a press release. “On a daily basis, we have approximately 50 officers from multiple specialized units who are assigned to patrol areas around schools during dismissal. In this incident, we did have two patrol officers around North Community Park during dismissal time.”

Four Florida teenagers were charged last week in the Dec. 12 gang beating of a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. On Monday, a fifth suspect surrendered to the Coral Springs Police Department. Local 10
The five teens in custody were identified by police as Sylvester Hicks, 16, Jahmeer Beauziel, 17, Caleb Hensley, 17, Jordan Thompson, 16, and Chinua Leefatt, 15.
Four are students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas and the fifth is at nearby Coral Glades High School.
Each of the teens was charged with felony battery, according to cops.
Beauziel’s surrender Monday leaves one more suspect being sought by police.
In an email to parents last week, school principal Michelle Kefford said she hopes to expel them.
“We are also doing everything we can through district processes to ensure these students do not return to our campus,” she wrote in the email, according to WPLG.

Meanwhile, Barrington Leefatt, the father of suspect Chinua Leeffatt, told the outlet last week that the victim was the one who instigated the brawl by slugging his son first.
“That [victim] is not innocent, I’m telling you,” Leefatt said. “He was attacked first. I have video [of] that. My son is the victim here.”
Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School is known for the horrific 2018 mass shooting that left 14 students and three teachers dead.

Former student Nikolas Cruz was sentenced to 17 life terms in prison last year for the Valentine’s Day massacre.
Police said Cruz stormed the school with an AR-15 assault rifle and opened fire — spraying defenseless victims with bullets and in some cases circling back to finish off the wounded.
On Feb. 15 this year — one day after the fifth anniversary of the shootings — the school was placed on lockdown after educators received a “suspicious phone call.”

A fifth teenager allegedly involved in a brutal attack on a Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student was taken into custody by Coral Springs Police on Monday morning, authorities said.


Jahmeer Beauziel, a 17-year-old student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas, turned himself in around 8:30 a.m. at the Coral Springs Police Department, Sgt. Ernesto Bruna told Coral Springs Talk. Beauziel will be charged with felony battery for his alleged role in the Dec. 12 beating. Four teens were previously arrested Thursday and charged in the attack.


Police previously spoke with Beauziel’s family and arranged for the teen to turn himself in, authorities said.


Video footage recorded during the attack showed a student being slammed to the ground around after school in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School junior student parking lot at North Community Park in Coral Springs, according to police. The victim was hospitalized with multiple injuries. According to online posts by numerous MSD parents, the teen suffered a fracture to his skull.


On Thursday, police obtained arrest affidavits for the five alleged attackers. Four of the accused attackers attend Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, and a fifth attends Coral Glades High School in Coral Springs. More arrests in the case are possible, police said.


Along with Beauziel, the students named by police as participants in the attack are:


– Sylvester Hicks Jr., a 16-year-old student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas.


– Caleb Hensley, a 17-year-old student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas.


– Jordan Thompson, a 16-year-old student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas.


– Chinua Leefatt, a 15-year-old student at Coral Glades High School.


The four teens previously arrested were taken to the Juvenile Assessment Center in Fort Lauderdale, the central intake facility for all arrested juveniles in Broward County. A judge on Friday ordered them released into their parents’ custody and placed them under home detention. Their next scheduled court dates are in January.


Beauziel was expected to be booked into the Juvenile Assessment Center on Monday.


Video of the Dec. 12 attack showed an unidentified attacker slamming the victim onto the pavement. Other footage posted online showed kids striking the victim before he was picked up and slammed to the ground. The victim struck the ground head-first and appeared to lose consciousness. Several students tended to the motionless boy as other kids scurried around the scene, the footage showed.


According to court records, witnesses told police an unknown suspect had walked up to the victim and punched him in the face. The attacker then “incited several other males who then joined in the attack [of the victim] who was picked up into the air and slammed back to the ground causing his head to smack the concrete pavement.”


The five accused attackers were later identified by investigators who worked closely with school administrators, records show.
