Memphis, Tenn. — A Highland Heights teen is behind bars after police said he recorded a brutal assault on another teenager and posted it on Facebook.

Video of the mob beating that happened at the intersection of National Street and Lamphier Avenue is no longer on Facebook. But WREG uncovered a still photo of a teen hunched over, trying to collect himself after police said he was beaten and pummeled by nearly 15 others.

The attack was so bad doctors at Regional Medical Center treated the 19-year-old victim for multiple concussions.

“I seen it on Facebook, and I stopped looking at it cause I thought it was wrong,” said neighbor Velaizjah Parker.

Police said that video 17-year-old Parker and thousands of others saw on social media was posted by Dashun Dye. He now faces aggravated riot charges.

Dye’s arrest is part of a three-month-long investigation after police said back in December a group of guys met up with the victim at a nearby convenience store and then invited him over to play Xbox.

But instead of a friendly game, the teen was met with fists, feet and rage, and no one stopped the nightmare. Police said the mob beat him up because of his lifestyle.

“He didn’t have a chance to say anything, they were on him pretty good,” said an unidentified family member of the victim.

Neighbors and family members who didn’t want to go on camera said the attack was low, but posting it on Facebook made it worse because folks viewed the assault as entertainment.

“If I see a fight, I’m not going to record it. What’s the purpose? It’s not funny. It’s sad,” said Parker.

Parker said she hopes Dye’s arrest matures other teens, and hopefully a culture of attacking in person and then again online will stop.

“I need to do something better with my life instead of locked up and behind bars,” said Parker.

Dye remains in jail on two counts of aggravated riot. Family members of the victim said he is doing much better despite suffering from multiple concussions.
