Fight between teen girls in Columbus leads to fatal stabbing

COLUMBUS (AP) — An attorney for a 16-year-old central Ohio girl accused of fatally stabbing another teen during an argument says she was confronted at her house by a group of people, including one with a gun.

Columbus police say 17-year-old Jasmine Goodwin was killed Wednesday afternoon on the city’s east side, and a 16-year-old girl is now charged with murder in juvenile court.

The Columbus Dispatch reports the 16-year-old did not appear at a court hearing this morning, but her attorney says he’ll request that she be tried as an adult.

A report says Goodwin went over to the other girl’s house to fight at about 3 p.m., and it escalated from there.

Goodwin was a junior at Walnut Ridge High School, which planned to have grief counselors available today.
