[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] A teenage girl has been arrested for allegedly stabbing a 16-year-old cheerleader to death during a high school parade.

According to reports, Junior Varsity cheer captain Kayla Green (pictured above) was one of two people gashed with a knife as Mount Vernon High School celebrated the boys’ basketball team winning the state championship on Friday in New York.

Her 15-year-old friend suffered a puncture wound and lacerations; she was rushed to hospital and survived. The 15-year-old suspect, whose identity has not been released on account of her age, was arrested and charged with manslaughter in the first degree, attempted assault in the first degree, and assault in the second degree — all felonies.

A police officer reportedly tried to intervene when he saw the altercation break out, but Kayla was fatally stabbed in the back and side.
