A dispute over sauce outside a Washington, D.C., McDonald's escalated into the fatal stabbing of a 16-year-old, police said.
Naima Liggon, of Waldorf, Maryland, died in the violence early Sunday, Washington Metropolitan Police said in a news release.
Police said she was stabbed outside a McDonald's in the 1900 block of 14th Street NW.
Liggon was taken to a hospital in a private vehicle, police said. Officers responded to the hospital just after 2 a.m. for a report of a teenage girl with stab wounds. Despite lifesaving efforts, she died.
Later Sunday, police said, a 16-year-old girl, also of Waldorf, was arrested and found with a knife.
She has been charged with second-degree murder while armed, assault with intent to kill, aggravated assault, felony assault and carrying a dangerous weapon, NBC Washington reported.
The teen appeared at a hearing Monday in D.C. Superior Court, where Detective Brendan Jasper testified that Liggon was stabbed in an argument over “sweet-and-sour sauce” among three girls outside the McDonald’s just after 2 a.m., The Washington Post reported.
Liggon and another girl began hitting the 16-year-old suspect, and as they tried to get into the vehicle, the suspect “lunged” at Liggon with a 7½-inch pocketknife, hitting her in the chest and the abdomen, he testified.
The teen pleaded “not involved,” which is the juvenile equivalent of not guilty, the Post reported. Her attorney argued she acted in self-defense in a dispute started by the others, while prosecutors argued she was the only person who took a knife to a fistfight.

Maybe how she can twist this into a lawsuit against McDonalds.
Let me guess: more daughters of Obeyme.
At least she died doing what she loved: arguing over stupid stuff that didn’t matter.
14th and U St. NW—down the street from Ben’s Chile Bowl, which serves great chile and dogs, and across the street from Jeni’s, Nancy Pelosi’s favorite ice cream shop. Nonetheless, I wouldn’t hang out there at 2:00 AM.
Over McNugget sauce. Only in the 'hood.
Muh socioeconomic facktors! Dey ain’t no programz in oura communitiez!
Gotta be more blacks...
Self-defense while she was being beaten by 2 others?
Curfew for teens was in. place..Clearly,teens don’t like it
Lost her life over sauce....The murderers life will forever change over sauce.......
That McD’s is right on the corner of U st nw, a big entertainment strip for the black community. She’s too young to have been hanging out among bars and nightclubs at that hour of the morning.
Waldorf MD is almost an hour away from this McDonald’s.
Good thing that DC has a teen curfew.
A couple of girls attacking and then trying to beak into a car and one ends up dead? This might be a case of self-defence. I would have to know more details.
Horrible. Prayers up.
“Liggon was taken to a hospital in a private vehicle,”
Homeboy ambulance service.
I’m getting tired of all this McDonalds Chicken Nuggets Sauce Violence. Let’s use a little common sense and ban that sh**.
Sweet and sour sauce? I think that’s a first. Usually it’s barbeque sauce or Popeye’s fried chicken.
14th and U was notorious in the 1980s as a place to stay away from
.
Mother is thinking... “GOFUNDME!”
