Loay Alnaji, a California man, pleaded not guilty to charges related to the death of pro-Israel protester Paul Kessler following an altercation at dueling pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel protests.

An arrest was made at UCLA in connection to an incident of violence at a pro-Palestinian encampment, where a pro-Israel protester, Edan On, allegedly participated in attacking a pro-Palestinian demonstrator.

The Ventura County District Attorney's Office in California has stated that the death of a pro-Israel protester does not currently meet the elements of a hate crime, though the investigation is ongoing.
