In Greensboro, North Carolina, a University of North Carolina-Greensboro student was brutally beaten by a group of men in a parking lot. Although the attack was brutal, it appeared to be a random one, according to Greensboro police.

The beating took place at approximately 12:15am Sunday, in the 800 block of Homeland Avenue, when the victim was walking from his parked vehicle to a friend’s apartment at College Square Apartments. That was when, according to police, several men jumped him.

Shortly after the beating, the victim was found by a student as he lied face down on the ground of the parking lot.

According to the student, when they turned the victim over, they noticed blood on the ground and all over his face. He was not able to speak up. He was moaning. It was really frightening.

The victim was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, where he was admitted in the intensive care unit, due to the bleeding on his brain as a result of hemophilia.

The victim has been identified as 18-year-old Spencer Brill.

“Because of his body’s failure to clot blood, Brill could have died from the beating,” according to Brill’s parents.

When the video taken by a surveillance camera was reviewed by cops, it revealed several men delivering punches and kicks at the victim. Also, two of those men were seen picking the victim’s pockets. After the beating, the attackers fled in various directions.

The student who discovered the victim has not been identified.

Police say that eyewitnesses were present during the beating. In fact, the surveillance footages also revealed people walking right before and right after the beating. They were in the lot during the incident; hence, it is understandable that those people know and observed what happened.

It was also learned by sources that the beating took place at the same location where Dennis Hayle was slain. This incident occurred in January of 2009. Hayle was a North Carolina A&T student. At that time, the apartment complex was named Campus Courtyard. His murder remains unsolved.

Anyone with any further information is encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers at 336-373-1000. It is highly recommended that tipsters should remain anonymous when reporting tips about actual criminal cases. You may be eligible for a reward.

Two bar patrons of Campus Pub were accosted, held-up by gunpoint, and robbed late last night while in and around their vehicle outside of the bar.

 

The victims, Benjamin Smith, 26, and Ciara Boothe, 25, were looking at Boothe's car sound system recently installed by Smith earlier in the week when two men approached them from different sides in the Gunnerson Avenue and demanded them to hand over their belongings.

The shooting took place around 6:45 p.m. outside Fuentes Market on 680 Parker St. The victim was a 20-year-old male, shot in the leg. He was treated for injuries at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The Boston Police Department declined to comment any further due to the investigation still being open, but according to the website SpotCrime.com, there was no information on the shooter, and witnesses were uncooperative.

Clery Act Crime Reporting

The following information is required to be reported to the U.S.Department of Education as part of The Jeanne Clery Act (Campus Crime Act). Colleges and universities must submit campus crimes from three categories. These are Criminal Offenses, Hate Crimes, and Arrests. Each category lists crimes according to those occurring on-campus, on-campus in residence halls, in non-campus buildings and on public property.

The criminal offenses that are required to be reported are:

• Murder/Non-Negligent Manslaughter
• Forcible and Non-Forcible Sex Offenses
• Robbery
• Aggravated Assault
• Burglary
• Motor Vehicle Theft
• Arson
• Negligent Manslaughter

The second category, hate crimes, includes the following offenses under Department of Education reporting guidelines:

• Murder/Non-Negligent Manslaughter
• Aggravated Assault
• Forcible Sex Offenses
• Non-forcible sex offenses (incest and statutory rape only)
• Arson
• Negligent Manslaughter
• Burglary
• Robbery
• Motor Vehicle Theft
• and any other crime involving bodily harm

Hate crimes are incidents that involve evidence of prejudice based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnic origin or disability.

The third reporting category, arrests, consists of both physical arrests and on-campus disciplinary actions/judicial referrals for Liquor Law Violations, Drug Abuse Violations and Weapon Offenses.

These statistics are submitted to the Department of Education on an annual basis during the mid August to mid October collection period based on the previous calendar year. The new statistics are then made available in October by the Department of Education for the upcoming academic year.
