Earlier this week 20-year-old Brandon White was the victim of a gang beating, which was videotaped and uploaded to World Star Hip Hop. The victim has since then decided to speak up about the incident and two suspects have been identified from the video. Downtown 11 Alive reports that that the Atlanta police department is in the process of arresting the suspects. The local community hopes that this investigation helps rid their neighborhood of gang related violence.
