Los Angeles: An 18-year-old who was beaten severely by a group of men outside of a night club, died three days later at a hospital.
On November 24, 2007, at around 1:45 a.m., Marco Antonio Herrera of Reseda was with a group of his friends who were leaving the Red Square nightclub located at 20001 Ventura Boulevard in Woodland Hills. As Herrera and his group exited the club they became involved in an argument with a group of Armenian men and a lone African American man. Several fights broke out between the two groups during which Herrera was knocked to the ground. While on the ground, Herrera was punched and kicked repeatedly in the head causing major head trauma. The suspects drove away in various vehicles.
Herrera was taken to Northridge Medical Center by his friends where he was admitted in extremely critical condition. Three days later, on November 27, Herrera died from his injuries.
