Police have arrested a young female suspect for allegedly brutally assaulting another teenage girl in a brawl that erupted near Hazelwood East High School in Spanish Lake Missouri late last week.

On March 1, an altercation between two teenage girls near the intersection of Norgate Drive and Claudine Drive ended with one having her head slammed into the concrete until she started convulsing from a seizure, according to local media reports. An altercation between multiple teenagers then erupted around them. Video of the fight was shared widely online, including on the X platform, where it caught the attention of platform owner Elon Musk, who commented, “Her head was viciously smashed into the concrete several times. This is at minimum third degree (unintentional) murder.”
