A 52-year-old suspect, Anthony Gray, was detained at the school for what police called a “random act.”
Gray was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail to face a murder charge, police said. No further details were immediately available on a potential motive.
Police said Gray drove to the front parking lot of the school and parked his vehicle. He then walked inside the campus and stabbed the teen.
Police told KCRA 3 on Monday evening that the stabbing was a “random act.”
“It’s a tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family,” Ramirez said.
Stagg High School was on lockdown following the stabbing.
