MINNEAPOLIS — A 16-year-old boy was charged Tuesday with murder on allegations that he stabbed a fellow student last week in St. Paul Harding High following a hallway fight during a break between classes, while administrators and police are reexamining security within the district's largest schools.
Nosakhere K. Holmes was charged in Ramsey County District Court with second-degree unintentional murder in connection with the killing shortly before noon Friday of 15-year-old Devin Denelle Edward Scott, who was attending Harding on Friday, the 10th-grader's first day at the school after transferring from St. Paul Humboldt High School.
Holmes was charged by petition in juvenile court. The County Attorney's Office indicated its intention to have the teenager's case moved to adult court, where a conviction would likely bring a longer sentence.
