SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio authorities say a teen boy died after he was stabbed near the campus of John Jay High School Tuesday afternoon.
Police officials say they're still looking for the knife-wielding attacker, believed to be another teen boy. On Wednesday authorities identified the victim as Joshua Kinnaman; district officials said he attended John Jay.
On Wednesday signs memorializing Kinnaman could be seen on campus.
The attack happened at a café along Marbach Road near the school, according to police, adding they had surveillance footage of the incident. According to them, two young men left the school and came to the eatery just before 2 p.m. At some point the other individual allegedly involved arrived, and both parties began arguing.
Police say the teens took the dispute out into the parking lot, where the suspect at some point stabbed Kinnaman in the abdomen with a knife.
Kinnaman and his companion took off running before he collapsed about 100 feet away. As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, police were still looking for the suspect.
John Jay High School sent this letter to families on Wednesday.
It's unknown if the suspect was also a student at John Jay High, but police said he also appeared to be a minor. Northside ISD spokesperson Barry Perez said the school was briefly placed on a modified lockdown.
Parents were alerted of the lockdown, per district procedure, and were again contacted when it was lifted.
