CORAL GABLES, Fla. (WSVN) -- Police have identified the student stabbed to death at Coral Gables Sr. High School after an altercation with another student.

Tuesday afternoon, after the organized dismissal of students from the school, Miami-Dade Police Detective Rebeca Perez announced that Juan Carlos Rivera, 17, a 10th grader at the school, died as a result of a confrontation with another student on campus, who police have not identified.

She did not release many more details beyond that. "The cause of death is under investigation at this time," she said. "It occurred on school property during the time between classes."

Miami-Dade Police said, soon after 9:15 a.m., between first and second school periods, they detained the student suspected of stabbing Rivera and began their investigation, interviewing students and locking down the school while they investigated. "The detaining of that suspect was by the Coral Gables Police Department moments after the incident," Perez said.

Soon after reports of the stabbing and lock down went out on the airwaves, parents began arriving outside the school, fearing for their children's safety but had to wait until about noon for the controlled release of students to begin. Police had to assure the students' parents that their children were safe, while police continued to investigate the murder scene.

With 0 in office and his effect on race relations, I expect this to be the bloodiest school year on record.

Just about 3 miles from me and not only MY Alma Mater, but also both my sisters, my wife, her brother, our daughter and my best friend! He's still in that category after 36 years.

Had the boundaries not been changed years ago to bring in the trash from other neighborhoods, this would never have happened.
