A teenager from Southeast D.C. has died Saturday after he was stabbed by another teen on the Capitol South Metro station on Friday.
D.C. police said 15-year-old Jaquar McNair was rushed to the hospital in critical condition following the incident, but died Saturday from his injuries.
U.S. Capitol Police arrested a 15-year-old female suspect several blocks from the Metro station. She was initially charged with assault with intent to kill, but those charges have since been amended to first-degree murder while armed.
According to D.C. Police Chief Peter 海角社区appham, the information police have so far is that the stabbing arose as the result of 鈥渁 dispute among juveniles,鈥� but centered on the boy and 鈥渁 young female.鈥�
海角社区appham added that technicians were going through all relevant video to try to gather more information. Police vehicles lined the streets near the station, which is about a block from the Cannon House Office Building.
The stabbing happened around 1 p.m. Friday, and the Capitol South Metro station remained closed until around 5:30 p.m. that evening.
