An altercation between two Texas middle school students resulted in the death of one student.

Serenity Baker, 14, was fatally stabbed on Monday at Roy J. Smith Middle School in Killeen by a fellow student, who is also 14 years old, according to Click2Houston.

Serenity was rushed to Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center, where she later died from her injuries shortly after noon, the Killeen Police Department reported.

The 14-year-old suspect has been taken into custody. Due to her age, the teen’s name has not been released, Click2Houston reports.

“We recognize the emotional impact of this incident on the victim’s family, students, staff, and the entire Killeen community. Our thoughts are with everyone affected, and we extend our support to those in need,” the Killeen Police Department said. “We ask for the public’s patience and cooperation as detectives with the Criminal Investigation Division continue their investigation.”

The community has established a GoFundMe fundraiser to help raise money for funeral expenses. On the donation page, Serenity is described as “a bright, loving, and compassionate young soul with a promising future ahead of her. She brought joy to everyone around her, and her kindness touched so many lives.”

The investigation is ongoing.
