Overview

• Adam Erkan, 20, has been charged with two counts of aggravated battery and hate crime for attacking two Jewish students at DePaul University last November.
• A judge denied bail during Erkan's pretrial hearing, citing his use of a ski mask as a sign of aggression and his ongoing threat to the community.
• The second suspect in the attack remains at large, with police continuing their investigation and evidence linking the suspect found in a nearby dumpster.
• The victims, Max Long and Michael Kaminsky, have filed a civil lawsuit against DePaul University, alleging negligence in protecting students from known threats.
• The assault has drawn national attention to campus antisemitism, with DePaul's president set to testify before Congress on the issue next month.
