Bird Rock Bandits Connected to Emery Kauanui Jr. Death Includes UNH Quarterback Hank Hendricks

Five men that have been identified as being members of an outfit called the Bird Rock Bandits are facing murder charges related to the beating death of professional surfer Emery Kauanui Jr.

Among those five now facing murder charges is University of New Hampshire backup quarterback Henri “Hank” Hendricks. After the school found out that Hendricks was facing murder charges related to the California attack they opted to suspend the football player.

The 21-year-old is scheduled to be arraigned on Monday in California and will have to answer to charges that he, along with Seth Cravens, 21; Eric House, 20; Orlando Osuna, 22; and Matthew Yanke, 21 attacked Kauanui at the surfer’s house on May 24. Kuaunui died several days after the attack as a result of the injuries sustained. 

If the men are convicted of the murder charges they could face life in prison.
