13-year-old dies after sibling fight turns to stabbing in SE Oklahoma City

OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) - A 13-year-old died after being stabbed by his sibling, who was also a minor, Thursday night after a fight between the two turned deadly.

"Oh my God, I can't believe that. Wow,” neighbor Lanie Parks said.

"There were interviews given,” Sgt. Dillon Quirk with the Oklahoma City Police Dept. said Friday morning. “Ultimately, no one was arrested at this point. On the surface, this appears it could be some type of self-defense but we are still investigating up to this point."

Quirk said they were called to the scene around 11 p.m. While there, they learned that there was a fight between the two siblings that turned into one stabbing the other. The 13-year-old boy was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

"It's a critical reminder of the emotional support that can be played inside the home and so a very tragic scene to stumble upon this,” Quirk said.

"They got a lot of police in there all the time,” Parks said.

Parks has lived in the home next door for over 25 years. She said her husband told her police were outside that night, but she didn’t know what happened until Friday morning. She said she was shocked by the news.

"They're nice person,” she said.

She knew the family well and even spoke to them often. However, what she once knew next door is now the site of an active investigation as police continue their work. A decision on any charges will be left up to the Oklahoma County District Attorney.

Again, no arrests have been made. Quirk said the investigation is still in its early stages.
