One of the witnesses was Genesis Feagle. She says, she broke up the fight.

"I was sitting in my room watching T.V. and my dog started going crazy barking out the window. I looked out the window and I see a bunch of group of guys surrounded in a circle kicking some guy," said Feagle.

Genesis' sister called 9-1-1. But it was to late. Ruba was beaten to death.
