Dallas police are hoping someone can lead them to the identity of the man who sucker-punched UCLA student Jeffrey Fleming last Saturday (June 13) after a Rascal Flatts concert in Fair Park.

The assailant -- described by witnesses as a 20-year-old, six foot tall, 190 lb. white guy -- reportedly got into an unmarked white party bus containing a bunch of other people after delivering the surprise blow.

Fleming remains in critical condition at Baylor Medical Center. There's a $10,000 reward offered for information leading to the arrest and indictment of the perpetrator: Call Dallas police at 214-671-3584, or North Texas Crime Stoppers at 1-877-373-8477.

UPDATE: Chancellor Jay Hutcheson, 18, is wanted on a charge of second-degree felony aggravated assault. Police say it was an unprovoked attack. Fleming, whose family flew in from Newport Beach, Calif., suffered bleeding and swelling to his brain and remains in critical condition. Hutcheson, a graduate of Plano West High School, signed a letter of intent in February to play football at MidAmerica Nazarene University in Kansas.
