Police say the victim was attacked after being insulted over his Halloween costume. He has remained in a coma since the incident, and doctors say he suffered permanent brain damage.

The suspect faces multiple felony charges, including a hate-crime enhancement, as community leaders warn of a broader pattern of anti-LGBTQ violence in the area.
