According to reports, a Texas high school student was fatally stabbed with a kitchen knife in the bathroom

MANOR, Texas (KEYE) — What started as a fight in the boys’ bathroom at Manor Senior High School in Texas turned into a… fatal stab– according to newly published court files.

KEY obtained an arrest affidavit for Mac Brown Mbah Mbanwei, an 18-year-old student who was charged with first-degree murder in the death of Darrin Loving, another 18-year-old student.

According to court records, a school employee was patrolling the school during lunchtime when he heard several students shouting that Mbanwei had a knife. The officer claimed he looked into the bathroom and found Mbanwei nearby with his hands in his pockets.

The resource officer, identified in the documents only as “SRO Williams,” told Mbwanwi to take his hands out of his pockets, but Mbanwei did not comply with the officer’s command. At that point, Williams tried to forcibly remove Mbanwei’s hands from his pockets, “which resulted in a fight,” the statement said.

The affidavit states that when Williams finally removed Mbanwei’s hands from his pockets, the student was holding a “kitchen knife” in his hand, which Williams took from him before detaining the student.

At that point, Williams returned to the dining room, where he found Loving suffering from multiple stab wounds and “bleeding.” Austin Travis County Emergency Medical Services provided care to Loving, but he was pronounced dead a short time later.

The statement noted that several students saw the stabbing and identified Mbanwei as the suspect. The tribunal also noted that surveillance footage showed Mbanwei and Loving leaving the toilet before the “incident” occurred.

“Blood spatter at the scene indicates that the argument began in the boy’s restroom and spilled into the hallway near the dining room,” the statement read.

The statement also indicated that the Manor Police Department detective who wrote it tried to read Mbanwei his Miranda rights, but Mbanwei “was reluctant to speak at all.”
