A tragic incident occurred outside a McDonald’s restaurant in Washington, D.C., early on Sunday, resulting in the death of a 16-year-old girl. According to the Metropolitan Police Department, the girl was allegedly stabbed by another teen during an argument over McDonald’s sweet-and-sour dipping sauce. The victim, Naima Liggon from Waldorf, Maryland, was transported to a hospital where she was pronounced dead. The police arrested a 16-year-old girl from Waldorf on suspicion of second-degree murder, as she was found in possession of a knife at the time of the incident.
During a hearing on Monday, the suspect’s attorney claimed that she acted in self-defense, as reported by The Washington Post. Prosecutors stated that surveillance video captured the fight, showing the suspect lunging at Liggon as she was getting back into a car.
The judge, expressing sorrow over the tragic event, highlighted the senselessness of the situation, stating, “At the end of the day, someone is dead over a dispute over sauce.” The suspect was ordered to remain in custody until the next hearing scheduled for Friday.
Naima Liggon was described by her mother, Joy Liggon, as a beautiful, smart, funny, and unique young lady who loved life. She had a passion for music, the arts, and basketball, and was also pursuing a career as a master barber. Liggon had recently been hired at Krispy Kreme as a doughnut specialist and was looking forward to obtaining her driver’s license. Her untimely loss has deeply affected her family, friends, and community. Liggon’s mother urged parents to shower their children with love, emphasizing the importance of cherishing each moment spent with them.
Liggon was a student at Thomas Stone High School in Waldorf, where the new school year had just begun. The school’s principal, Shanif Pearl, expressed heartbreak over the tragedy and announced that grief counseling would be available to support the school community.
This incident serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the impact that disputes over trivial matters can have on individuals and their communities. Let us keep Naima Liggon’s family, friends, and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
