Lawsuit Claims Juvenile Assault and County Negligence at Mountains Edge Park

A Las Vegas man has filed a civil lawsuit claiming he was attacked by a group of juveniles at a public park last year. According to a complaint filed in Clark County District Court, Adrian Villegas-Solorio alleges that seven children assaulted him without provocation while he was at Mountains Edge Regional Park on January 18, 2024.

The filing states that Villegas-Solorio was riding a scooter at the park and had stopped to rest on a bench when he was approached and attacked by the group. The lawsuit alleges he suffered serious injuries, including damage to his jaw that required surgery, along with ongoing pain and emotional distress.

Villegas-Solorio is suing the children involved, their parents, and Clark County. The complaint claims the county was negligent and should have been aware of prior violent incidents at the park. It alleges the county failed to address what it describes as a dangerous condition at the location.

The lawsuit seeks more than $15,000 in general and compensatory damages, along with punitive damages and interest. It is not known whether the families named in the suit have legal representation. Clark County has been contacted for comment, though officials typically do not address pending litigation.
