Four High School students accused of beating a classmate to death in Las Vegas have been formally charged with second-degree murder.

The Fight , which was caught on a video shared to Social Media , took place near Rancho High School on 1 November. Police said the brawl broke out over a set of headphones and a vape pen that was stolen from The Victim or his friends.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police 's homicide lieutenant Jason Johansson declined to show the video to The Press , saying it was " very graphic" and " devoid of humanity".

Those who have Not Yet been charged are awaiting separate court hearings because they are all under the Age Of 16.
Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson told reporters on Tuesday that his office chose to charge The Teens with second-degree murder instead of first-degree murder because The Evidence indicated the beating was not premeditated.
