GAITHERSBURG, Md., Sept. 25 (UPI) -- A fight after a high school football game left a girl dead, and a 15-year-old girl charged with second-degree murder.
The fight broke out at James Blake High School in Montgomery County, a Maryland suburb of Washington. Two groups of girls were fighting over a spitting incident weeks ago, The Washington Post reported. Kanisha Neal, 15, died after being knifed in the parking lot after the Saturday night football game ended.
School officials tried to break up the fight, and administered first aid in an attempt to resuscitate Neal.
The suspect's name has not been released because she is a juvenile. She was formally charged Saturday.
It was the second fatal assault in a week after a Montgomery County football game.
Last week 23 year-old Stephone Wiggins was beaten to death with a miniature baseball bat after a football game. Two suspects are in custody charged with the murder.
Police don't think the murders are gang-related.
