During a party, a promising teen athlete was lured into an ambush and brutally beaten. As the victim lay in a coma, his family decided there was good reason to file a lawsuit.

The Texas teen was at a pool party in Lake Jackson when a couple of his Brazoswood High School classmates told him that his truck had been hit. However, it was all a ruse to lure the boy outside alone.
Insider reports that when Hagan went outside, another teen jumped him. The ambush had been planned several days in advance by 17-year-old Reid Mitchell who, along with 18-year-old Logan Huber and 17-year-old Ayden Holland, caught Hagan off-guard. Huber told police that he watched “Reid Mitchell punch (Cole Hagan), bear hug him, slap him to the ground and then get on top of him and elbow him in the face.”
After beating Hagan to a bloody pulp, Mitchell called one of the victim’s friends, telling them to “come get your boy.” Classmates then found Hagan’s lifeless body “laying in the street bleeding from his ears.” He was rushed to Memorial Hermann Hospital with multiple brain bleeds and skull fractures, a broken collarbone, and other injuries. Hagan was placed on a ventilator in a coma. When he regained consciousness, he thought he had been in a car accident and selflessly asked if his friends were okay.

Hagan’s brother says that Mitchell was angry that the girl had chosen to move on from him. Following the attack, Mitchell was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. He was released on a $20,000 bond. Huber and Holland were charged with aggravated assault and released out on bail. However, Hagan’s family wasn’t about to rely on these singular charges to obtain justice.
Cole Hagan’s family filed a $50-million lawsuit against the teens, their parents, and others who allegedly knew about the planned attack.

The suit also alleged that at least 8 other students were aware of the attack before it happened.
