4 Teens Arrested In Brutal Attack In High School Parking Lot

SANTA ROSA, CA – A confrontation stemming from social-media posts, led to the vicious beating of a female and the arrests of four teens for allegedly using a stun gun and physically attacking her in the parking lot of a Santa Rosa high school, according to authorities.

On Aug. 8, police learned of the assault that reportedly occurred in the parking lot of Maria Carrillo High School on Sunday Aug. 5, prior to the start of the school year, and launched an investigation, the Santa Rosa Police Department said today.

A group of females and one male approached another female who was with friends in the school parking lot at 6975 Montecito Blvd. and allegedly "confronted the victim over posts she had made on various social-media outlets," police said.

"At least four females surrounded the victim and punched, kicked and stomped the victim while she was on the ground," the department said. "One of the suspect females was armed with a Taser, and applied the Taser to the victim’s head while she was on the ground.

"Several people also witnessed a male subject, who drove one of the female attackers to the scene of the incident, brandishing a handgun prior to the assault in an attempt to warn others who were present against protecting the victim," police said.

The victim was knocked unconscious at one point and suffered moderate injuries to her face and body, as well as burn marks where the stun gun was used, the agency said,

During the attack, gangs were mentioned along with references regarding "the colors the victim was wearing," police said, adding that several witnesses used cell phones to video the attack.

Over recent weeks, Santa Rosa police collaborated on an investigation with Santa Rosa school resource officers and violent-crime detectives and identified and arrested four suspects for alleged involvement, the department said.

Two 18-year-old females from Santa Rosa, Aliyah Baker and Assata Polk, were arrested for suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. And Wednesday after a search warrant was served at a home on the 3000 block of Bisrodi Lane in Fulton, Kinsasha Lovvorn, an 18-year-old female from Santa Rosa and a 17-year-old male were arrested for suspected assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm and possession of cocaine for the purpose of sales, police said.

In the search of the Fulton residence, where the 17-year-old lives, a Taser and a 9mm handgun were recovered, along with narcotics, according to police.

Police hope to find additional suspects and witnesses, and a reward of up to $2,500 is being offered by the Sonoma County Alliance “Take Back Our Community Program” for information leading to arrests and convictions of additional suspects.
