On October 29, 2010, Matthew Christopher Chew was stabbed to death. On his way home from work, a group of six teenagers attacked Matthew. According to the attackers' statements, Idris Elahi, Rashad Perry, and the other four boys had been watching TV together when something on the screen got them "hyped" to the point that they decided to find a random person to assault. Rashad dared Idris to stab their victim, and so he did once they had chosen Matthew and began beating him. Court documents indicate that the underlying reason why the group killed the 25-year-old was "because they were bored."
