"Police say that 18-year-old Justin Swisher told his parents that he was in a fight with the 3-11 Boyz before shooting and killing himself over the weekend. Eyewitness News reporter has learned this wasn't the first time the teen had been involved in a fight with the suspected gang.
In the infamous fight tape confiscated from one of the alleged 3-11 Boyz homes, 18-year-old Justin Swisher was identified as one of the teens. In the video clip, he is seen on the right, agreeing to engage in a fight with another teen while the camera was rolling. On-lookers didn't break up the fight until Swisher is clearly hurt.
Justin Swisher was a student at Centennial High School until he dropped out in March of this year. The 3-11 Boyz gang became known after 9 teens were charged with the attempted murder of Cimmeron Memorial High School student, Stephen Tanner Hansen. The teens' attorneys are challenging the charges. The trial is set for May 2004."
