A high school student in Alexandria, Virginia, has died after someone stabbed him during a fight involving 30 to 50 people at the Bradlee Shopping Center Tuesday afternoon, police say.
Officers found 18-year-old Luis Mejia Hernandez when they arrived to the McDonald's parking lot at the shopping center to break up the fight about 12:30 p.m., police said.
Medics took Hernandez, a student at Alexandria City High School, to a hospital, where he died a short time later, police said.
The school's principal, Peter Balas, said in a letter to students and parents that Hernandez would "be greatly missed by the Titan community, especially in the International Academy."
