Coral Springs Police detectives are asking for the public’s help in identifying a sixth suspect involved in the Dec. 12 attack on a Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student.
Still images pulled by police from video of the violent incident show the yet-to-be-identified suspect, who detectives believe someone may be able to recognize.

Four teenagers were arrested and charged with felony battery Thursday for participating in the brutal after-school attack on the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student. A fifth alleged participant was taken into custody after turning himself in to police Monday morning, police said.
