As FOX 26 has reported, authorities responded to Malcolm E. Beckendorff Park on February 14 in reference to what was later described as a ‘massive type brawl’ between 11 and 18 individuals.
Officials said the disturbance broke out between two groups of students from the Katy ISD Opportunity Awareness Center. The incident began as a verbal fight, but other students arrived from another nearby school and participated as the incident escalated.
The charging documents state that Cavazos displayed a knife and subsequently used it to cut and stab three other teens, two 16-year-olds and a 17-year-old, involved in the brawl.
