• Prof. Loay Alnaji, 50, charged with manslaughter at pro-Palestinian rally.
• Victim: 69-year-old Paul Kessler, fatal head injury on Nov 5.
• Initial release due to conflicting statements; new evidence prompts arrest.

In a shocking turn of events, Loay Alnaji, a 50-year-old computer science professor at Ventura Community College, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and battery causing serious bodily injury.

The charges stem from an altercation at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Thousand Oaks, where 69-year-old Jewish man Paul Kessler tragically lost his life.

The incident unfolded on November 5 during a heated clash between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protesters.

Kessler sustained a fatal head injury after a confrontation with Alnaji, who was initially released due to conflicting witness statements. However, new evidence has emerged, leading to Alnaji’s arrest and a $1 million bail.

Tensions between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian groups in the U.S. have been on the rise, mirroring the broader global conflict.

This latest incident adds a somber note to the ongoing discourse, raising questions about the safety of peaceful demonstrations and the potential consequences of heightened tensions.

A news conference with the district attorney and Ventura County Sheriff Jim Fryhoff has been scheduled for further updates on this tragic development.
