ORLANDO, Fla. — A 16-year-old Georgia girl was stabbed to death near a skating rink in Orlando during “teen night”, police say.
Kennedy Williams was one of two teen girls who were stabbed on Friday night during a fight outside the Astro Skating Center, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
Both girls were taken to the hospital in critical condition, where Williams died. The second victim, who hasn’t been identified, survived.
A 15-year-old boy was arrested and charged with one count of second-degree murder. Police said they were not searching for any other suspects. He’s been identified as Anthony Rushing.
The rink issued a statement, saying,
“Unfortunately, an incident did occur close to our location on Goldenrod but not on our property. This is still a developing situation and our hearts go out to the victims and their families. We are not interested in speaking, and we ask that everyone shows compassion for those involved.”
Friday night bills itself as “teen skate night.”
