2 Arrested In Attack Of Kennesaw State Student

KENNESAW, GA — Two men were arrested Friday in connection with the attack of a Kennesaw State student that police have previously said may have been racially motivated.

It is unclear what led to the confrontation. The student, who is Black, told police he was attacked for no apparent reason while he was exiting his car just after midnight on Jan. 21 at the West 22 Apartment Complex.

Gauge Dakota Stanley, 20, of Chatsworth, and Kole Zuba Reasoner, 20, of Flowery Branch, are charged on suspicion of aggravated battery and battery, Kennesaw Police said.

When officers arrived, they found the student with a bloody nose, police said. The student told police he was attacked by the two white men "for no reason," and that no one had a gun, according to the report.

The police report provides detail into what occurred but did not give a complete snapshot of what happened.

The student said the men directed a racial slur at him during the attack, police said.

All motives are being explored in the case though police said the attack could ultimately be racially motivated.
