16-year-old girl stabbed to death in Washington, DC McDonald’s in fight over sweet-and-sour sauce

A 16-year-old girl was stabbed to death during a fight with another teen girl over McDonald’s sweet-and-sour dipping sauce, reports say.

A news release from the Metropolitan Police Department says Naima Liggon of Waldorf, Maryland, died at a hospital following the stabbing at about 2:10 a.m. Sunday. A 16-year-old girl from Waldorf has been arrested and charged with second degree murder while armed. Police say the teen suspect had a knife with her when she was arrested.

A detective tells DC News Now that five teens had met to go to a party in Oxon Hill, Md. After leaving the party, the group went to a McDonald’s in Washington.

After ordering food in the restaurant, the teens returned to their vehicle, where a fight started over the dipping sauce, police tell WUSA Channel 9. Liggon reportedly was stabbed in the stomach and chest.

WUSA reports the teen suspect claims the stabbing was in self-defense, saying she was knocked to the ground by Liggon and another person.

In a statement released to WUSA, the victim’s family says Liggon was “a beautiful, smart, funny, and unique young lady who loved life.”

“The impact of this senseless loss has affected our family, our friends and our community,” the statement says. “Naima will never see her prom or her graduation. We will not get to see her graduate from college or get married or have kids.”
