Texas high school student stabbed to death with kitchen knife in bathroom, records show

A fight in the men’s bathroom at Manor High School in Texas turned violent fatal stabbingNewly released court records show.

KEYE Received the arrest affidavit for Mac Brown Mbah Mbanwei, an 18-year-old student who is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Darrin Loving, an 18-year-old student.

According to court records, a school resource officer was on patrol at school during lunch when he heard several students yelling that Mbanwei had a knife. The officer claimed that when he looked into the bathroom he found Mbanwei nearby with his hands in his pockets.

The resource officer, identified only as “SRO Williams” in the documents, told Mbwanwi to take his hands out of his pockets, but Mbanwei did not comply with the officer’s order. At this point, Williams attempted to forcibly remove Mbanwei’s hands from his pockets, which “resulted in a fight,” the affidavit said.

When Williams eventually took Mbanwei’s hands out of his pockets, the student was holding a “kitchen knife” in his hand and Williams took the student away before taking him into custody, the affidavit said.

At this point, Williams returned to the lunch area, where he found Loving suffering from multiple stab wounds and “bleeding out.” Austin Travis County emergency medical services provided care to Loving, but he was pronounced dead a short time later.

Several students saw the stabbing and identified Mbanwei as the suspect, the affidavit said. He also noted that surveillance video showed Mbanwei and Loving leaving the toilet before the “incident” took place.

“Blood spatter at the scene indicates that the fight began in the child’s restroom and moved into the hallway near the cafeteria,” the affidavit states.

The affidavit also reports that the Manor Police Department detective who wrote the affidavit attempted to read Mbanwei his Miranda rights, but Mbanwei “refused to speak at all.”
