Aundre Matthews, hailing from Baytown, Texas, faces allegations of homicide linked to the fatal stabbing incident that occurred at Ross S. Sterling High School.

 A student from Ross S. Sterling High School has died following injuries sustained during an altercation in a classroom on Wednesday morning, according to officials.

The Baytown Police Department reported that officers were sent to the location after receiving information about a stabbing around 10:42 a.m. KPRC 2 later confirmed that the incident unfolded during a dispute inside a classroom at Ross S. Sterling High School.

Authorities revealed that the conflict involved two male students. During the altercation, one student used scissors to stab the other. The alleged assailant is an 18-year-old, while the victim is a minor. Both were students at the institution.

Post-incident, the injured student was transported by ambulance and later airlifted to the Texas Medical Center with the assistance of Life Flight. According to the Baytown Fire Department, the conditions hindered the helicopter from landing on the school property, necessitating that the student be taken to Baytown Airport for the airlift. Despite medical efforts, the student tragically passed away due to his injuries. Authorities confirmed his death at approximately 3:35 p.m.

The individual accused, identified as Aundre Matthews by officials, was apprehended and later booked into the Baytown jail facing a murder charge. The deceased has been identified as Andrew Meismer.
