WARNING: VIOLENT & GRAPHIC VIDEO POSTED BELOW!!!
Note: This post originally reported the student in the video was in a coma. JJ obtained the information from what have been several reliable sources in the past. Oxford police issued a statement two days after this post stating a Tyler Wright punched him in the head. The victim struck his head on the pavement when he fell down. Oxford police charged Wright with simple assault.
A video making the rounds in Ole Miss circles shows a student laying on the ground unconscious as blood streams from his ear while a group of young men laugh at his misfortune.
The video posted below shows the student laying on the ground with a skillet next to his head. Horror, disgust, and white-hot rage pulse through the veins as one watches a group of presumably Ole Miss students laugh as they record the unconscious victim as blood streams out of his ear. The soldier never moved. It's a wonder they didn't spike the skillet in celebration.
Soldier? Yes, the victim is enrolled in ROTC at Ole Miss and became a member of the Mississippi Army National Guard in 2019. He made the Chancellor's Honor Roll last year.
So much promise, taken away in one night.
JJ submitted a public records request with the city of Oxford for a copy of an arrest report if any arrests were made in the case. A message was left for Oxford Police Chief Jeff McCutcheon.
Kingfish note: JJ is going to catch flack for this post but it is not mentioned anywhere in the media. Several readers tipped off this website to the story.

Is he dead?
The perp/s may have parents who are "connected" and thus protected from scrutiny.
12:59 - certainly not. That only works on kidnapping and rape cases.
This is meaningless. This was a person who contributed to society. I cannot say how I feel at this point except I have anger over this young man’s attack and how his parents and family must feel. Let me say this, I wouldn’t care how well the person are “connected” as another poster referenced. Some things are worth killing over and making a point. People like me have lived long enough and will walk through hell to get to someone that harms our families. I think I made my point, so if any readers of this post are attorneys that know that family, it’s going to make you and them wonder where and when retribution will occur. Just something to think about. They WILL be caught. Now, Oxford Police, do your job.
Who is the dumbass toward the end of the video?
You are not only going to catch flack for this. You are going to find a lot of doors shut in your face. You are done.
KF, please keep us all informed on this young man’s recovery. He did not deserve this.
There is no social redeeming value of anything in that campus or in the fraternity system.
Cowards. Horrible and disgusting. This young soldier did not deserve this. I hope the perpetrators go to prison. Praying for the soldier to heal and recover.
This fool has no clue what he just shared on social media! I guess his mama and daddy will have to explain.
Hope the YouTube is used in the prosecution’s case. Some things you just don’t revel in
Evil;pure evil. And 2:00 pm is a bonehead.
2:28 you’re reaching so hard. Had nothing to do with ole miss or fraternity “system”. Inbred shitheads are gonna be inbred shitheads. Victim was in a fraternity as well. Guys that jumped him we’re probably mentally unstable long before they ever joined a fraternity.
If that was my son talking, he would be out of school and in the US Army within a week, if they would take him.
Looking at the evidence your Honor, I rest my case!
I’m not going to watch this video. But I appreciate this story being shared and exposing what the culture is at Ole Miss. can anyone give details or perspective to what happened?
Hey 2:00pm, was that one of your kids? Well you sure as hell raised them right didn't you. You should share a cell with them.
And 3:00pm. As a former NCO in the Army Paratroops, I can assure you that we didn't want people like that. Too high a risk of fratricide. The Army or Jail days are long gone.
@ 2:00, you either know the person in the video or you know the person that did this horrible act. And YOU’RE tellin KF he is done???? Yep, you know one of the people and that’s a problem for you. A big problem. To the parent or parents of the moron speaking to his “bro’s” in the video, they are as guilty as he is if they do not come forward and turn him on or convince him to turn himself in. And boy oh boy…when he goes to talking I’m quite sure some other people are going to be considered accomplices. Now the person is an adult so unless momma and or daddy have some way to protect themselves this is going to be a big deal both physically and financially. It’s a pity that a parent or parents raised a moron like this.
JJ, just curious if this came to you through the new anonymous tip line? I think that's a great idea to offer that. These frat boys need a corn cob shoved in their two biggest orifices!
The older I get the more I believe fathers should be publicly punished for the crimes of their sons.
I think more time would go into making sure we didn't have shitbags like these.
(Yes, I am a father of sons.)
I can’t watch this, I’m sick about this already. My son is at Ole Miss and he told me that this had happened. My heart breaks for this young man and his family. There’s no excuse for this and I hope the perpetrators are punished to the full extent of the law.
It's part of the culture. ....by damn!
Just add this incident to the long list of reasons I don’t want any of my kids attending this place.
Again, no one was hit with a frying pan. Someone used that to bring the guy some water. The taunting in the video is inexcusable. They will be dealt with. Also, you have left out the 50 plus Kappa Sigmas that went over to this house and jumped on one guy. And the fact that the Kappa Sigma fraternity is now in trouble with the university.
Kappa Sigma. Definitely doesn't surprise me.
Does this person have a name?
5:01- Yes. Because water is often offered with a frying pan.
Why do they keep letting that fraternity back on campus? I’ve lost count how many times they have been kicked off. That’s on ole miss for letting them come back. How does the culture perpetuate after being gone five years? Must have some hellacious alumni advisors.
The ole miss students in their arrest pictures are smiling. Like “this is fun dude”. City of Oxford should bane this scum from town. Ole Miss probably will do nothing.
2:59-Nothing to do with Ole Miss? All 5 of those arrested are Ole Miss students!
The shiteaters in this video are why I am still Pro-choice.
They should have had their heads pinched off at birth.
In closing, I am sick of fucking Ole Miss students.
If the Army ROTC can assist with additional chargesI pray the military does and he receives a military funeral! Prayers for his family & friends!
This is disgusting. If this kid dies, the culprit or culprits deserve the death penalty.
7:43- Where are these mugshots? Thanks.
As all of you were commenting, I sent this to WAPT, WLBT,and WJTV.
Now, let's sit back and see if any of the mainstream news investigates this. The clock is ticking.
For those who don’t know: Ole Miss doesn’t publicize attacks on campus unless forced to. That includes rape. This is done on purpose. They do not want anyone to know and it helps with their image. Obviously the local media is in on it as well cause they could. I was told this a few years ago by, well let’s say, I very high elected official in the area. Who would send their child to a school if they didn’t think it was safe? I’m sure this happens at other institutions of higher learning as well. The Clery Act requires colleges that take fed aid to report certain crimes but….look it up. It’s not always followed.
I cannot find anything about this on the OPD website or FB page or in the Oxford Eagle website or FB page. Can someone post a link to information about this?
I’m horrified and speechless to see this. We are supposed to be a civil society but this is far from civility. It’s not close to funny. What can we do to help the injured now deceased young man’s family? I hope JJ will keep us up to date on this.
Ole Miss has a violence and a drug problem.
I am an alumnus of Ole Miss of many years ago. I joined what was considered the premier fraternity. Within weeks, i was in disbelief of the childish nature of the entire system. You were supposed to accumulate 50 pledge points to qualify for initiation by numerous acts of ass kissing.. The night of admission to the royal order, I had minus 51 pledge points. Some for threatening a table of actives with an ass whipping if they disturbed my lunch one more time. I left the system with one big "up your ass" and never looked back.
I consider my years at the school one of the low points of my life.
I have an 8 figure estate. That institution will not get one cent.
This is the end result of pay to play drinking clubs on campus masquerading as community service organizations.
These weak and feeble little boys most likely have not accomplished anything in their life. Hope they made their grandparents, parents, and siblings happy.
This is so sad. Pray for the victim.
Ole Miss/Oxford needs a major clean up/moral evaluation/soul searching/serious plan implemented -to end this atmosphere of disgusting behavior. Be responsible - do your job. Now.
Alston case was never covered up there.
"Brah, bro, duuuuuude, I brought you some water in this skillet."
All you black bear land sharks, be true to your school, now.
Remember that bleach hazing incident?
Subject of some coverage here previously:
http://kingfish1935.blogspot.com/2021/04/ole-miss-frat-forces-pledge-to-swallow.html
http://kingfish1935.blogspot.com/2021/04/ap-student-suspended-in-bleach-hazing.html
Well in looking for some info this group of arrests turned up:
"OXFORD, Miss. (WMC) - Seven members of the University of Mississippi’s Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity have been arrested on cyberstalking allegations.
According to the Oxford Police Department, officers took a cyberstalking report on November 2. Police say the cyberstalking incidents were over group messages and on social media. On December 3, seven individuals were arrested and charged with felony cyberstalking."
https://www.wlbt.com/2021/12/07/ole-miss-fraternity-members-charged-with-cyberstalking/
Here is an additional post which confirms what a person might suspect:
"Seven students at the University of Mississippi have been charged with cyber-stalking a fellow student who blew the whistle on their fraternity's hazing activities.
College hazing is an initiation ceremony in which freshmen undertake humiliating and sometimes dangerous feats to gain admittance into a fraternity or sorority.
Ole Miss Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity members Baylor Reynolds, aged 19; Christian Parten, 20; Cole Goretski, 20; Miles Baker, 19; Peyton Newcomb, 20; Walker Holden, 19; and Wyatt Johnson, 20, are accused of sending harassing text messages and emails to a student who used to be a member of their fraternity.
The defendants allegedly sent cyber-stalking messages included violent, racist, and anti-Semitic content.
The alleged harassment began after the former fraternity member reported the performance of hazing rituals to university officials. The hazing activity took place in the fraternity house in the fall of 2021.
During his own hazing ceremony, which took place in 2020, the cyber-stalking victim had bleach sprayed in his mouth. "

The family’s have the resources to compensate the alleged victim’s family for their loss. There is no reason to ruin their sons’ futures over a drunken mistake. These are just college kids who went a little too far.
5:01 - FACTS!
There are always 2 sides to every story and you’re good at finding those out - I have full faith you’ll do it again here…
That’s a heck of a world-class university ya got there in Oxford…
10:37 - Right and wrong.
Right - The families are going to pay a pretty penny to the victim (if he is still alive) and his family.
Wrong - what these punks did deserves years in Parchman.
Regardless of the horrific incident itself (if it did involve an iron skillet), why does JJ refer to the victim as 'a soldier'? He was not in uniform, did not present himself as any soldier, wasn't in a military group or representing the military at the time of this fight or whatever it was. Why not refer to him as an Episcopalian or a chemistry major? Oh, but referring to him as 'this soldier' gets the emotion-juices flowing among the drive-by readers. Why didn't I think of that?
Googling at 1:00 a.m. on Sunday - There is nothing to be found regarding 'Ole Miss student hit on head with skillet'.
With the thousands of Red and Blue Solo Cups on hand, I'm doubting someone picked up an iron frying pan to bring him some water.
My kid is a freshman at Ole Miss. She is actually at a party at the SAE house right now as I’m reading all of this. I’m completely horrified and freaked out and told her to leave now. Asked her if she knew about this. She says the attacker was a COB and SAE dropped him IMMEDIATELY after he attacked the Kappa Sig. I’m in a hotel room in Oxford after attending the game today and now I’m wide awake fighting the urge to go to campus and get her just so I know she’s safe. Many prayers for all affected families. What a senseless tragedy. Disgusting.
Correction: Daughter now says the attacker hadn’t even formally been offered a bid by SAE so he is not part of the Greek system. So for everyone attacking frats, the attacker isn’t even in one.
@11:03 - what is the other side if you are the one laying on the ground with blood coming out of your ear? What is the other side if you are the parent of the kid laying on the ground?
OK, lets assume he was a participant in whatever the idiocy of the actions were - one group walked away (and made a video???) and the other died.
Please let me know - which side of this is "the other side"? I trust you were saying this tounge in check as I hope 10:37 was saying when he thought there were "enough resources available to compensate" the family for their dead teenager.
10:37 Are you serious. No one is responsible for ruining the future of those responsible. The laws are set to protect innocent victims. Those who Will be Indicted Will have their day in court. These stupid kids playing adults have choices to walk away & have cell phones to call police before it escalated. Our prayers are for the victim and his family! Money will never cover the loss or pain all families will face the rest of their lives. Let that sink in. Ask Alice’s father who was murdered by Brandon Thiesfeld!
9:37 total BS!
8:31 it didn’t appear to be on campus. The story will come out in time, don’t worry.
the beautiful people of the SEC
1:58 AM, that is some nano-particle level of splitting hairs!! So that disqualifies any blame on frats in this case?
Removed one comment that linked a message board 12 hours or so ago. The post on the board made a claim that can't be verified nor is mentioned anywhere else.
12:38- Is whether the victim had a uniform on foremost in your mind? It’s a horrible action.
The perp's alumnus father will make a 6-figure donation, followed by a building named after him, and this incident never happened.
"The family’s have the resources to compensate the alleged victim’s family for their loss. There is no reason to ruin their sons’ futures over a drunken . These are just college kids who went a little too far. "
Even by the low standards previously seen on this blog, that is the dumbest fucking thing anyone ever said.
12:38- Is whether the victim had a uniform on foremost in your mind? It’s a horrible action. September 25, 2022 at 9:26 AM
No, his being a guard member or ROTC or whatever he was has NOTHING to do with his fate, which is why I pointed out that calling him a 'soldier' was only for the sake of emotional response. If he were in uniform and had been attacked for that reason, his status as military would be relevant. Maybe it was too early this morning for you to understand the point.
Several refer to his having died. What corroboration of that do we have? I hope it's not a fact.
As for the woman who posted about her daughter being at a frat party and later posted this: "the attacker hadn’t even formally been offered a bid by SAE so he is not part of the Greek system. So for everyone attacking frats, the attacker isn’t even in one." YOU, lady are part of the reason people DO 'attack frats'. YOU and YOUR nighttime false story about frats. Blame nobody but the gal in the mirror. I hope you got to Huddle House early this morning and your daughter is not too hung over.
We have come to a point that social media trumps common sense. We are so numb to human hurt, what have we become? This has nothing to do with a Soldier, ole miss, or frats. This is a young man laying in need of medical attention and some inbreed is on social media showing his lifeless body!
My God, these are our future leaders! My heart goes out to this Family and this Soldier, my brother in arms. Please have some decency.
I am a grown man in tears!
Rules for Generation Z
1. Switch your phone to video mode
2. Video the incident - snarky/insensitive comments are optional
3. Consider calling 9-1-1 only if the group-think concurs
4. Render aid only if it will make you look like a hero and someone else will film you so that you can receive "likes"
When did this happen? I heard last week about some SAE’s beating a guy into a coma. Is this the same incident?
This horrible attack did not happen on the campus. It happened outside a local bar. The victim was jumped as he was leaving. This is matter for the Oxford Police Dept to handle. In no way is the University involved. This was a pure act of evil and shouldn’t be a bad reflection on the University or the Greek system! You can have your own opinions, but what I just stated are facts!
Post didn't say it did. If you read the bottom of the post, it is stated JJ submitted public records requests to Oxford, not campus police.
Please don’t tell me anyone is surprised. Have you read the paper or watched the news in the last 50 years. I defy anyone to find a university with more violent, disgusting, reprehensible behavior than the University of Mississippi. Burning down fraternity houses; dragging a cop to his death; hanging President Obama in effigy; murdering of innocent students; destruction of the Emmitt Till memorial; rapes; assaults; and on and on. Hotty Toddy, y’all.
That’s a person laying in distress! He is in need of medical assistance not media assistance! To the parents of the fool standing in this video, I just don’t know what to say to you! Maybe after that high wears off your son, he will have some decency.
Is the human race devolving?
I can't believe these clowns seemingly have no concern for the guy on the ground.
How did almost the entire comment thread get turned into a grievance petition against fraternities and Ole Miss?
It looks like it was first injected about an hour and a half after the post went live, in a comment posted at 2:28 p.m. yesterday by someone calling himself "Anon-E-Mouse":
"There is no social redeeming value of anything in that campus or in the fraternity system."
Others quickly responded to that statement of personal belief, both pro and con. A flurry of imaginary, self-proving scenarios quickly developed, such as:
"The perp's alumnus father will make a 6-figure donation, followed by a building named after him, and this incident never happened."
Folks, this is how we continue to feed ourselves bullshit, in the absence of facts. In less than 24 hours, we have reinforced our underlying beliefs about all people associated with Ole Miss and fraternities, based on an event that appears to have nothing to do with either, except that it occurred in Oxford and involved college-aged individuals.
12:12 College age students enrolled at Ole Miss & belonging to a fraternity. Which Frat ar OM are you associated with? Kappa Sig?
This is false information, he was dropped by one punch and cracked his head on the concrete. This BS about the frying pan is so overblown. Do you honestly think that doctors would not notify the police a deadly Weapon was used which would result in an arrest?
Good Lord, I don’t know who this writer is but it’s no shock he’s writing for a tiny paper, all it would’ve taken would’ve been a GLANCE at the police report to know this isn’t what happened. Anything for the clicks I guess. The kid was never in a coma, he was airlifted to the Memphis trauma center purely as a precaution, he was stable and awake less than 12 hours later…
Let the fraternity apologists post one after another. Meanwhile most brothers and sisters of Greek letters in Oxford are just now (1:36 Sunday) waking up with a terrible head or serious buzz craving sugar and salt from Waffle Huddle House. Most have no clue who won the game or who their date was.
@kingfish Regarding my 11:29 comment, I wasn’t referring to the post or you. It was in reference to some of the earlier comments because evidently some of those posting weren’t aware of all of the details before starting to point fingers. That’s all.
@12:12 AGREE 110%! Perfectly said!!!
Someone mentioned the SAE’s. They suffered several years of expulsion. I think there may be others. I am sure salacious activities happen on other college campuses, but I sure hear about a lot of SH*T going on at the frats on the “OleMiss” campus.
12:30, Nothing in the post, or in any citations provided in the comments, said anything about the perpetrator(s) being enrolled at Ole Miss or belonging to a fraternity.
You actually made my point by making assumptions based on your underlying beliefs, which appear to be that fraternities at Ole Miss are prone to violence.
-12:12
So no big deal! The victim was hit in the head, feel to the concrete, was bleeding from his ears, a jeering crowd in circled him, he was airlifted to an acute care hospital in Memphis. So, just a typical night in Oxford?
I am a proud parent of an Ole Miss Kappa Sig! The victim was in his pledge class as a Freshmen. He is one the most respectable, smart, well-mannered, disciplined Senior political science major in his 4th year with the Mississippi National Guard who something like this should’ve never happened to. This was a crime of opportunity where alcohol & testosterone made this groups of kids attack him as he was leaving like a rabid pack of dogs instigating it all! I don’t know if it was to send a message or to prove their power, but it was uncalled for; & this young man did not deserve any of this, nor does the fraternity need to be affiliated with this incidence. There are always 2 sides to every story & then there’s the truth. Regarding all of the fraternity comments- Out of approx 400+ members, I’m not saying that there won’t be a few bad apples, but this young man is definitely one of the best of the best in our chapter! Maybe that’s why he was targeted; we will probably never know. He did a group video with some of the members on Monday to tell them that he is going to be ok. I can whole heartedly tell you anti-frat commentators, that you are so incorrect with some of your generalizations. Have you ever thought that maybe some of the attackers or envious & jealous that they didn’t have the credentials to be selected in an organization that had the largest pledge class, the overall highest GPA out of all frats, the highest graduation rate of all members & are just complete thugs! Some need to quit being so small minded. So if all of the perps are Catholic or Baptists, does that mean the Catholic or Baptist churches are bad & were a factor in this horrific attack. No, now chew on that for a little while!
Was he actually talking shit and writing checks that his ass couldn’t cash?
So, 3:44...What you're saying is the fact that he is or might be an Old Miss student coupled with the fact that his supposed military status has zero to do with anything, exposes this whole thread as simply another attention and emotion-grab by the owner of this blog. And the quick inference of some that a fraternity is involved only fueled the fire.
So...To recap. Here we have a freshman Ole Miss Student, wheel-chair bound, in his military uniform, making his way uphill to campus chapel with a Baptist Broadman Hymnal and weekly church-tithe in his lap and suddenly the entire XXX fraternity runs out of the frat house with sticks and skillets and bludgeons him to near death for no reason all to the chant of Hotty Toddy.
(I'm no cactus expert, but I know pricks when I see them!)
No, 5:17, that is not what I said in either of my comments at 12:12 and 3:44. Did you even read my comment at 12:12?
Or maybe you are actually Anon-E-Mouse, now posting anonymously, as your comment seems quite defensive.
It is a fact that this was an Ole Miss fraternity incident. All activities/pledgeships of Kappa Sigma are suspended. It is the culture of Ole Miss franerities. Drugs are rampant. it’s very sad. These young boys join these fraternities with bright futures and become alcoholic drug addicts. Parents, do not believe the university when they say there is no hazing allowed. Everyone of them(fraternities)haze. Sigma Nu needs to be exposed. Daddys money is protecting that one.
Kingfish I asked someone I know in school there now about what the scoop was and the story as he understands it (no skin either way) is very very different then what you are posting here. Are you sure this kid didn’t come looking for a fight and got punched with a fist one time? Are you saying he was basically killed with a skillet? You shouldn’t be posting fake news to make “fraternities” look bad. Some of us were in fraternities, got into fist fights, studied hard, and got laid. All things you prob never experienced. I grew up- it is fine we weren’t bad kids. And all you bashing Greek life endlessly are pathetic. Prob one of the losers who came to fraternity houses looking to pick a fight with “rich kids” then were shocked when you got your ass whipped by a frat boy who wasn’t even rich! Ha!
To all you Ole Miss haters out there: This does not, will not, cannot, change the status of Ole Miss as the flagship institution in this state and the primary beneficiary of YOUR tax dollars going to higher education.
SO GET OVER IT!
@8:03…. I did not make the post at 5:17. My reply to you wasn’t posted by the admin.
Please post this- this is to whoever is monitoring these comments! — So you seriously didn’t post my comment about what actually happened? Guess you don’t care to see the links of how the kid who filmed it has been in trouble big time with his high school- marijuana- parents spent $30k - 2 board members getting suspended/ him being reprimanded for using racial slurs— this is ridiculous. Before names & organizations are ruined, somebody needs to do their homework! There is so much more to this story & by monitoring the comments, it’s really an injustice to the victim!
Done with this site!
Kingfish you need to do a lot more research on this "firestorm" you have created. What you posted bears no resemblance to what actually happened. Your failure on this one makes knowledgeable people start to question some of your other blogs. I am a fan of you and this blog, but you really fucked up on this one.
Reminder to all the haters.
There's more than a few who know Mississippi wouldn't be nearly where it is without Ole Miss.
Yet another reminder that JJ is a gossip blog and not reputable journalism.
@11:34 PM
Are you saying that Mississippi is a the bottom of every positive metric and at the top of nearly every negative metric because of Ole Miss?
You must be a cowbell banging Bulldog!
"I have an 8 figure estate. That institution will not get one cent."
Yeah, no. People with $10 mil+ aren't on Jackson Jambalaya telling people they have a $10mil estate.
Kudos to Kingfish for posting even the comments that present him in a negative light. I do believe he should establish a rule requiring any poster to shave and be at least 20 years old. The little whining sissy frat boys allowed to post here have typically never worked a day in their lives and drive nice cars on campus and to the beer stores. It's amazing how many of them have all the facts about this situation. I'm sure each of them has already sucked up to the actives and said, "Hey man, you see what I posted on that Jamboolyer page?"
I have complete empathy for the victim/his family and expect full justice for him. Now that we have the FACTS, I have to point out this post was made with an agenda from the beginning - frying pan (hearsay), soldier (and...), honor roll (again, and...). Clicks, plain and simple! Meanwhile, your inflated click count and resulting comments incorrectly cast shade on reputable organizations.
Sound like Ole Miss manages fraternity incidents just like University of Alabama. Hazing is rampant. Dozens of emergency room visits from burst eardrums to concussions. Not only does the University cover up all incidents—so do the pledges/actives and parents. There are parents who care more about their son being in a fraternity than they do about any of the hazing victims. Kids being drug across floors, thrown against walls, beaten up, forced to eat vomit, verbally abused, and the list goes on. While this particular incident was not one that falls under “hazing” it does fall under the acceptance of violent behavior in these fraternities. They are literally teaching 18 year olds to become future abusers by allowing and encouraging this behavior. The kids in the video filming clearly thought this behavior was ok.
