HOUSTON -- A Langham Creek High School freshman who said he's the victim of a hate crime is speaking out.
Jayron Martin said he begged two principals at his school and his bus driver for help before he was hit repeatedly with a metal pipe.
Martin said the help never came. He said it took a neighbor with a shotgun to stop the beating.
“They didn’t do anything,” said Martin. “They never called me down or nothing.”
The attack happened after school November 12, near the 6100 block of Langham Mist Lane.
According to the 16-year-old, the attack took place off campus. He said a fellow student beat him after school while eight others stood around and watched. Martin believes he was beaten because he’s gay.
