Danyna Gibson has been identified as the 16-year-old high school student from Warren, Michigan, who was stabbed and killed by a classmate.

Following the attack, an unidentified 17-year-old student at Fitzgerald High School could be facing murder charges after she fatally stabbed Gibson over a boy they were both dating.

No other students were injured in the attack, while Danyna was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

What Happened?

According to reports, the stabbing happened around 8:30 a.m. at Fitzgerald High School in Warren, Michigan, when the still unidentified 17-year-old student pulled out a kitchen steak knife and stabbed the victim twice in the chest.

Warren Police Commissioner William Dwyer said that while a school resource officer immediately began life-saving procedures, Gibson was pronounced dead at a hospital about an hour later.

The school resource officer, who heard screams, raced to the classroom, according to Dwyer. He began CPR and continued until paramedics arrived. The victim was transported to St. John Macomb-Oakland Hospital in Madison Heights for treatment of two stab wounds to her chest. She died during surgery at 9:24 a.m., police said.

As the school was placed on lockdown status, the suspect was escorted to the principal’s office and arrested there by police without a struggle. She’s in the Warren Police Department lockup. No other students were harmed.

The suspect and the victim — both of whom reside in Warren — formerly were friends. Both had — or were — dating the same male student at the same time or different times, police said. That boy has cooperated with investigators.

Detectives plan to seek a murder warrant for the suspect on Thursday from the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office.
