$10M defamation lawsuit filed against Kellam High School principal over 'racist harassment' incident
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) – The families of three Kellam High School students are suing the school's principal, Ryan Schubart, alleging he 'published materially false and defamatory statements in an email addressed to the entire student body on or about March 13, 2025.' Schubart's email claimed that the students engaged in 'racist harassment' and that 'the students involved will be disciplined to the fullest extent possible.' But the civil complaint says that the plaintiffs were part of a 'close friend group' that included the student alleged to have been the victim of racist harassment. The incident took place on March 12, the birthday of the alleged victim. According to the lawsuit, before the start of school, the plaintiffs 'presented the gift recipient with a gift intended as a joke consisting of handwritten notes on a birthday card, a bag of fried chicken, and various candy, which was received in the same spirit as a friendly gift by the recipient.' The lawsuit also claims that security camera footage of the incident shows 'the plaintiffs, the gift recipient, and other students laughing, hugging, and engaging in friendly behavior,' and that the entire encounter lasted '2-3 minutes.' The three plaintiffs, who are remaining anonymous due to the sensitive nature of the allegations, were subsequently removed from the school, and according to the lawsuit, 'have been threatened and property damage has occurred.' 10 On Your Side's Cheyenne Pagan is interviewing attorney Tim Anderson, who is representing the three students, and will provide updates as they are made available.

Remains found in Norfolk confirmed to be missing Navy sailor
NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – The body that was found in the Broad Creek neighborhood Monday night is confirmed to be Navy sailor Angelina Resendiz, according to a statement released from the family. Family of missing Naval Station Norfolk sailor releases statement after body found in Broad Creek Resendiz was initially reported missing May 29, and was last seen in her barracks at Naval Station Norfolk around 10 a.m., according to the Navy. Mother of missing sailor from Naval Station Norfolk speaks out as investigation continues In the statement released by the Resendiz family, the confirmation of the remains belonging to Angelina has only strengthened the resolve to hold those who are responsible accountable for her death. 'Her disappearance has left a void in their hearts, and they refuse to let her suffering be in vain. The family is calling on the assistance of the United States government, Senator Mark Warner, Senator Tim Kaine, the Hampton Roads congressional delegation, home congressman Vicente Gonzalez, and President Donald J. Trump to address the systemic issues that allowed her to vanish without justice since May 29, 2025.' Statement issued by spokesperson for Resendiz family 'Not like Angie at all:' Search continues for missing sailor from Naval Station Norfolk The statement further explains there was an oversight that put Angelina's life at risk, 'emphasizing the urgent need to address how official channels failed to notify them promptly and properly, relying instead on unofficial sources like the media, which underscores deep systemic failures.' Resendiz's mother, Emeralda Castle, spoke to 10 On Your Side's Ethan Krauss June 7, who said she knew something was wrong when she stopped reaching out to family members. 'She talks to somebody every day,' Castle said. 'Her and my sister have a 400-day streak on Snapchat, and it all stopped on Thursday. She doesn't miss work.' The statement explains that Castle was horrified realizing she was not notified of her daughter's appearance through official channels, instead by Resendiz's staff and media channels. 'Her daughter's colleagues, friends, and even authorities knew she was missing, but the response was minimal, and after her friends filed a missing person's report when her commander would not, they showed little compassion or understanding.' Statement issued by spokesperson for Resendiz family Castle is calling on Congress to investigate her death, as they have 'the power to 'raise and support armies' and to 'provide and maintain a Navy.'' 'If the Navy cannot notify families properly and instead relies on unofficial sources, treating such incidents as inconveniences rather than emergencies, then Congress must investigate what has gone wrong. The Navy's failures threaten all families and the integrity of our military system, and Congress must reform these processes to prevent future tragedies, for the safety of all families, and for the integrity of our nation.' Statement issued by spokesperson for Resendiz family A GoFundMe was created June 7 to support the family in Resendiz's search efforts. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
