"A brutal and violent beating of a 17-year-old girl is getting worldwide notoriety, and the victim wishes it would stop. The November 19 attack was recorded at an apartment complex on Mills Road near Cypress Creek Parkway. Cypress Creek High senior Shamichael Manuel believes she was set up by a former friend and a group of other girls. Manuel thought she was headed to a friend’s place to pick up some of her belongings. She was wrong. Cell phone video shows Manuel being punched in the face and kicked with relentless force. “I was just in shock. I was like on my god. Did she really do this? You’re supposed to be my close friend,” Manuel said. Manuel says she never saw the first hit coming. She’s seen in the video lying curled up on the ground. “We were talking in school earlier that day. She made it seem like there was nothing wrong with her,” explained Manuel. The 16-year-old former friend, called by the name ‘Sharkeisha’ in the video, was apparently upset over a boy. A neighbor ended up coming to Manuel’s rescue and driving her home." - KHOU11
