A 16-year-old girl has died after getting into a fight with another girl over a boy at a school in Delaware. Officials have not named the girl, but friends and sources close to the investigation identified her as Amy Inita Joyner-Francis. Joyner-Francis was jumped by a gang of bullies in her school's bathroom Thursday morning.
Officials said the fight broke out around 8.15am before classes at Howard High School of Technology, a vocational school in Wilmington, Delaware.
Students who witnessed the deadly scuffle said that the 16-year-old and her female classmate started fighting in one of the women's bathrooms over a boy, when a gang of other girls jumped the victim. At one point, someone banged her head on a sink, according to Wilson, a witness who spoke with ABC.
"She was in a stall when the fight broke out and spoke with the local news station after leaving school"
'She was fighting a girl, and then that's when all these other girls started banking her -like jumping her - and she hit her head on the sink,' Wilson said. The victim was flown to A.I. DuPont Children's Hospital in critical condition, where she was later pronounced dead.The cause of death has not been confirmed
News media outlets quoted Police Chief Bobby Cummings as saying the female students have been taken to police headquarters for questioning.
'My heart bleeds for the family,' Mayor Dennis Williams told a news conference.
