New footage has emerged of the moment a boy was punched to the ground after trying to save Jonathan Lewis as he was ‘beaten to death’ by bullies in Las Vegas.
Jonathan, 17, died on Tuesday following the savage beatdown over the road from the Rancho High School on November 1.
Footage appears to show Jonathan throwing a punch before being swarmed by up to 15 youths who are seen hitting and kicking him repeatedly as he lies on the ground.
An extended version of the video emerged last night which appears to show one of his friends attempting to come to his aid – but he then receives blows to the back of the head.
A separate melee breaks out away from where Jonathan is being mobbed and the boy who tried to intervene is punched to the ground. Up to five other teens surround him and start hitting him.
It comes as public outcry simmered last night as footage of the attack on Jonathan went viral. Jonathan’s father told local media he was standing up for a smaller friend who had been robbed and thrown in a trash can.
Police are investigating but have not yet made any arrests. The Clark County coroner’s office, which is in charge of identifying the boy, was closed for Veterans Day.

Lewis was lost beneath the pack of youths who carried out a vicious assault on the teen
Jonathan Lewis, 17, died in the hospital days after he was attacked by a group of around 15 other teenagers
The fight broke out on November 1 when the 17-year-old was bashed in broad daylight by the ferocious teens.
The new footage appears to provide sharper images as to what was happening as Jonathan was beaten to a pulp and appears to show him throwing a punch.
Within seconds, the pack pounces on him and he is knocked to the ground.
So many boys get involved in the melee it is no longer possible to see Jonathan clearly, who by now is lying flat on the ground.
The fight continues for another 30 seconds as the group continues to punch and kick Lewis before members of the group then breakaway.
Other small fights also break out with punching between other teens continuing feet away from where Jonathan is now unconscious.
After Jonathan is knocked to the ground, one of his friends attempts to intervene and stop the brutal attack.
He too is then seen being punched in the back of the head by another teen.
He turns and runs after his attacker while another melee breaks out away from where Jonathan still lies on the ground.
The video shows the boy who tried to intervene is surrounded by a smaller group of between three or four teens. He is also floored by punches but manages to get back up.
Teens that had been standing around rushed to join in the fracas and pummel Lewis
Footage was also shot from an additional cellphone which has since been posted to X
All out chaos ensues as Lewis is beaten until he is unconscious
