The family of 16-year-old Naima Liggon is mourning her loss after a fatal dispute at a McDonald's in Washington, D.C. CBS News reports that the incident occurred on August 27th, when Liggon and another teen—both from Waldorf, Maryland—ordered food from the fast-food restaurant and got into a car together.
According to police, the two teens got into an argument over the sauces that came with their order, leading to a stabbing that killed Liggon. She was brought to a local hospital, where she later died. The other teen, who has yet to be identified, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder while armed. The weapon was still on her at the time of her arrest.
In a statement, the family of Naima Liggon expressed their grief over the senseless act of violence that robbed them of the chance to see their loved one at different life milestones. “The impact of this senseless loss has affected our family, our friends, and our community,” the statement read. “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.”
Thomas Stone High School, where Liggon was a student, also released a statement over the heartbreaking event. Principal Shanif Pearl said that the news was especially difficult to receive the day before the start of a new school year. “This is not the news a principal ever wants to share, let alone the day before we start a new school year.”
The McDonald's where the incident happened is located in a popular area for nightlife and is open 24 hours, according to NBC4 Washington. Police reports indicate that the stabbing occurred at around 2:10 a.m. Liggon's death occurred just before the start of a new curfew for people aged 16 and younger that was set to begin on September 1st. The curfew was set for 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. on weeknights and midnight to 6 a.m. on the weekends.
