Three alleged 311 Boyz members not attending school now

Three alleged members of the 311 Boyz charged with maiming a 17-year-old boy are no longer attending Clark County high schools, a school district officials said Monday.

Len Paul, superintendent of the Clark County School District's northwest region, said three alleged members of the 311 Boyz are no longer taking classes on campus and have been moved to the independent study program.

The Gallion twins are juniors at Shadow Ridge High School and Aguilar is a senior at Centennial High School. A fourth suspect, Hart, is also a senior at Centennial but has not yet made bail.

Those teens and six others are charged with 13 felony counts stemming from an attack on Stephen Tanner Hansen. Hansen was seriously injured when he was hit by a rock that was thrown through the windshield of the car in which he was driving. He has had to undergo several reconstructive surgeries.

The decision to remove the young men from the regular classrooms came late last week after a meeting with Paul, Superintendent Carlos Garcia and the district's attorney, Bill Hoffman.

The decision made sense given the high-profile nature of the charges surrounding the 311 Boyz, particularly the allegations of racism and connections to white supremacy, Paul said.

"The main idea was to keep those kids from having any retaliatory action taken against them," Paul said this morning. "They were never a danger to anyone else on campus, and were keeping a very low profile as they had obviously been instructed to do."

Instead of going to school, the young men will study at home using the district's distance learning program, Paul said.

The students and their parents have all been cooperative with the switch to independent study, Paul said.

The news of the expulsion comes after two additional cases were filed in connection with the gang, which police believe are responsible for a string of beatings in northwest Las Vegas.

Police say the attack on Hansen took place in a gated community in Summerlin.

In an amended bail motion filed last week, prosecutors said the Gallion brothers, along with Christopher Farley and Scott Morse, jumped a fence and "set up a gauntlet" through which the car Hansen was riding in had to pass.

Prosecutors are trying to get a judge to raise the teens' bail from $40,000 to $500,000.

According to the motion, multiple rocks were thrown but prosecutors were unable to pinpoint which of the teens threw the rock that injured Hansen.

"After launching their deadly missiles the rock throwers jumped back over the wall and were bragging about hitting the truck," prosecutor Christopher Laurent wrote.
