16-year-old charged with fatally stabbing a fellow St. Paul Harding student after fight

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 reexamine security at 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.

He brought a deadly weapon into a public school.That fact alone should be a felony. Try him as an adult, hit him with federal weapons charges, lock him up. Max sentence. No less. Dismiss his right to own or purchase weapons, for at least 20 years after his sentence is served.
