18-year-old Texas teen Aundre Matthews appears in court after murdering 16-year-old Andrew Meismer

A black 18-year-old accused of fatally stabbing his White 16-year-old classmate in a classroom at Baytown Sterling High School in Baytown, Texas, has been charged with murder and is being held on a $3 million bond.

Aundre Matthews reportedly killed his classmate, Sterling High School sophomore Andrew Meismer, in what prosecutors say was a fight over a vape pen.

“Defendant followed the complainant to the bathroom, searched his pockets, did not find the pen, but instead found a pair of scissors on the complainant’s person. He took the scissors and put them in his own waste band,” prosecutors told the judge. It was later in an empty classroom, where a witness “heard cries for help and observed this defendant holding the complainant in a chokehold with the defendant’s arm around his neck,” the prosecutor said. “Witness Davis attempted to remove the arm from the neck of the complainant, but this defendant would not remove his arm. He observed blood coming from his neck and the complainant’s body.”

Matthews’s attorney told reporters that the judge will decide whether to revoke or change the bond during a January 7 hearing.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Meismer was airlifted to a hospital on Wednesday, but he died from his injuries.

Goose Creek Superintendent Dr. Randal O’Brien addressed the fatal stabbing in a statement, writing, “After careful consideration, the administration decided that the best way to serve our students and faculty in the wake of this tragedy would be to come together as a campus community to provide in-person support.”

“To that end, we reopened Sterling on Thursday morning with a full crisis response team in place and ready to serve our students and staff as they process yesterday’s events,” O’Brien continued.

Students protested the violence, calling for “Justice for Andrew” earlier in the week. “They’re not separating these kids that clearly aren’t fit to be in a normal classroom environment and are a danger to other students,” one student said.

Other students revealed that the student already has a rap sheet at the school for assaulting students and bringing knives on campus, “but nothing was ever done about it,” and he was always allowed to return to school. “It’s just business as usual,” one woman said, noting that “somebody’s child died on their property, and it’s like come take your finals and go to school.”

WATCH:

The lack of discipline is likely due to the school practicing now-rescinded Obama and Biden-era DEI practices that told schools to look the other way when blacks commit crimes or break rules, or face revocation of funding for alleged violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
