An unsettling video has been released showing the moment a disturbed Las Vegas high school student — guilty of choking and sexually assaulting his teacher — ambushed her before committing his heinous attack.
Jonathan Martinez Garcia, 17, is serving a minimum of 16 years of a 40-year prison sentence after being found guilty in June for the vile assault on his former Eldorado High School teacher in April 2022.
Nearly two years after the attack, disturbing footage obtained by 8 News Now shows the events of the life-changing day.
Surveillance footage from inside the high school shows Martinez Garcia, then 16, wandering the halls at 1:33 p.m. April 7, 2022.
He attempts to open a classroom door near the end of the hall but fails and starts to walk away.
Suddenly, his teacher — identified only as Sade — pops her head out of the room, and Martinez Garcia quickly turns around and approaches the classroom.

The footage then cuts to the unhinged teen struggling with his teacher before he violently drags her back into the classroom.
The video jumps to 3:05 p.m., nearly an hour and a half after the teen launched his attack, walking out of the classroom with his head down.
The footage then changes to the bodycam of a Clark County School District Police officer hunting Martinez Garcia later that day after the reports came in of the attack.
“Possible suspect sighting, he sees the suspect right outside of his residence right now,” the officer, who eventually arrested Martinez Garcia, hears over the radio.

The teen was sitting in a tinted-out vehicle as the arresting officer approached.
“Hey, driver, turn the car off. Turn the car off. Jonathan steps out of the car,” the CCSDPD officer commands, adding, “You know why we’re here?”
Now changed into his high school’s ROTC uniform, Martinez Garcia exits the car and calmly says, “No” before the video ends.
During his June 2023 sentencing, the severity of his despicable acts was revealed after his teacher gave a harrowing statement while Martinez Garcia was seen smirking during the hearing.

“Since it happened, there hasn’t been a single night I haven’t dreamt of the attack,” Sade shared.
