In a video circulating online, DeClue is seen violently banging the head of Kailee, a white girl, onto the concrete surface between them. The Incident occurred last Friday at the intersection of Norgate and Claudine drives near the campus in Spanish Lake, as reported by the St. Louis County Police Department.
The 15-year-old suspect is currently held by St. Louis County Family Court on assault charges, according to media reports. The video footage captures the confrontation in the middle of a street close to the school, where the two high school girls engage in a physical altercation.
Within moments, the Black student forcefully brings down the white teen to the pavement and proceeds to deliver a series of punches to her face. When another female student attempts to intervene, she becomes the target of attacks from additional teenagers.
The more aggressive student, DeClue, continues the assault by grabbing the teen girl by the hair and repeatedly slamming her head onto the concrete in a vicious manner, as depicted in the video. The victim endures at least four forceful bashes of her head against the pavement after being punched multiple times in the face.
While some reports claimed that Kailee had died after receiving the beating, the claims have seen been negated with her alive. She is however in the hospital at the moment and is said to be critical.
The video captures a teenage girl lying unconscious on the pavement, entering into convulsions shortly afterward. Allegedly, the confrontation unfolded following an agreed-upon meeting between two juveniles to ‘face off’ against each other.
In response to the viral video, the Hazelwood School District issued a statement expressing the tragic nature of any harm to children.
The statement emphasized that “the tragic nature of any harm befalling children, stressing the collective responsibility to address bullying and conflicts within the community.
“The Hazelwood School District extends heartfelt condolences to all affected parties and commits to providing additional emotional support through their support and crisis team.”
The statement further reads “Expressing anticipation for ongoing collaboration with the community for the well-being of the children, the district urged kindness and respect towards the families involved. They called for a collective pledge to contribute to the improvement of the entire community during this challenging period.”
Details about Maurice Declue are scarce in the public domain, but the school’s official website mentions her participation in the volleyball team during the 2023-2024 period.
