13-Year Old Texas Girl Dies After Being Jumped By Classmates While Walking Home From School

Another horrible incident that involved children fighting led to a young teen losing her life on Wednesday in Texas. Kashala Francis, a student at Attucks Middle School in Houston, was walking home from school last week but was stopped by two classmates that allegedly jumped her.

Police reported that one of the teens kicked her in the head while the others held her down.

On Sunday, 13-year old Kashala Francis begin complaining of headaches before losing consciousness and slipping into a coma.

Her mother, Mamie Jackson, told KTRK that doctors found a tumor in her head that may have been exacerbated by the fight.

Police said it’s not clear if she died from the fight or as a result of the tumor.

Victor Senties, a spokesman for the Houston Police Department, said the incident is being investigated as a homicide, pending an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

“Until the autopsy is finished, we won’t know,” Senties told ABC News on Wednesday.

He said no arrests have been made and declined to release further details of the investigation.

This is happening too often now. Every child should be able to attend school and walk to and from school safely.
