## Resource

A violent assault on a Black teen in Lenoir County has led to multiple arrests, including 18-year-old Ashton Clark and 19-year-old Landon Harris, both charged with felony assault and conspiracy. Six juveniles are also expected to face charges. The attack, captured on video and shared in a group chat, shows the teen being punched, choked for minutes, and left dazed — with injuries including broken teeth and ruptured blood vessels. The incident, which occurred just outside Grifton on May 24, sparked outrage and is under investigation, though authorities say race was not a factor. The teen has fled the area for medical care, while Clark and Harris await trial on bonds of $50,000 and $2,500 respectively. More arrests are anticipated as the probe continues.
