Overview
- The preplanned fight at Winston-Salem’s Leinbach Park, which erupted Monday, left two teenagers dead and five others ages 14 to 19 injured.
- Police identified the teens who died as 16-year-old Daniel Jimenez Millian and 17-year-old Erubey Romero Medina.
- Officers arrested 18-year-old Joel Michael Gamble-Toliver on Tuesday on felony child abuse and felony riot charges, and detectives say he fired a gun during the incident.
- The child abuse charge reflects a North Carolina law that allows prosecutors to charge an adult caregiver when reckless conduct causes serious injury to a child under 16.
- Chief William H. Penn Jr. said adults who stood by or encouraged the fight will be charged, and investigators asked witnesses to share tips as the case remains open.
