Naima Liggon, 16, was brought to a local hospital where she died of her wounds, the Metropolitan Police Department said.
According to police, the teens — both from Waldorf, Maryland — had ordered food at a D.C. McDonald’s and then got in a car together, CBS affiliate WUSA-TV reported. The two then got into an argument over the sauces they had been given, which led to the stabbing, WUSA reported.
Officers took the other girl into custody on charges of second degree murder while armed, officials said. She had a knife when she was arrested, police said.
Liggon attended Thomas Stone High School in Waldorf, WUSA reported. Monday was the first day of the new school year.
“The impact of this senseless loss has affected our family, our friends, and our community,” Liggon’s family said in the statement provided to WUSA. “Naima will never see her prom or her graduation. We will not get to see her graduate from college or get married or have kids.”
