Court documents: Teen stabbed at Everett park by rival gang over a girl

Prosecutors have charged a 17-year-old from Tulalip and another from Marysville as adults in the stabbing of a 14-year-old boy.

It happened last week in Lions Park in Everett.

According to court documents obtained by KIRO 7, the teens are in rival gangs: the Southside Locos and the Norteños and there was a fight over a girl.

The documents state that the boys knew each other from Lakewood High School.

Before the stabbing, the boy had reportedly been talking with a girl on Instagram and Snapchat.

The night of Dec. 16, documents state she picked the boy up at Country Burger in Stanwood, and the two decided to go to the park to smoke some marijuana.

After they made this plan, the girl picked up her phone and started texting, according to court documents. The boy told detectives he believed she was telling people where they were headed. As they drove, the documents state the boy said he felt like the girl might be setting him up because she had “already set up one of his friends and attacked her.”
