On May 24, 2025, 17-year-old Elijah Green was brutally attacked by a group of individuals at an impromptu rock concert in Palmdale, California.
The assault, captured on video, shows Green curled on the ground while at least four people punch and kick him.
During the attack, the assailants reportedly hurled racial slurs, including “Get that N-word” and “Beat that N-word up.”
Green sustained injuries, including a swollen ear and a dislocated finger.
His family is calling for hate crime charges, emphasizing the racial nature of the attack.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is investigating the incident, and the District Attorney’s office has stated that while no case has been presented yet, they will pursue appropriate charges if evidence supports it.
