A 13-year-old boy died Tuesday night as a result of injuries from an assault at Landmark Middle School.
The boy, identified as Diego, was declared clinically dead.
The family is in the process of organ donation.
Diego was injured when two juveniles attacked and assaulted him at school earlier this month on Sept. 16.
There were previous allegations of bullying involving Diego.
The two 13-year-old suspects, previously arrested for the assault which led to Diego’s death, remain in the custody of Riverside County Juvenile Hall, facing prosecution for the assault, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said in a press release on Facebook.
"The Sheriff’s Department joins the community in mourning the loss of this young man," the Moreno Valley Sheriff's Department said on its Facebook page.
Concerned parents and the public came out to voice their grievances about bullying following after the incident.
The assault was captured on cell phone video and showed two students allegedly hitting and punching Diego, who then fell and hit his head on a pillar. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition at the time.
Anyone with further information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact Investigator Joshua Manjarrez at 951-955-2777, assigned to the Central Homicide Unit or Investigator John Tometich at 951-486-6700, assigned to the Moreno Valley Sheriff’s Station Investigation Bureau.
