LAGRANGE – Arlington Central School District has identified the 16-year-old who was stabbed and later died after a high school incident on Friday night.

Quraan Smith of Poughkeepsie was fatally injured in a major brawl on the school campus on Friday night.

Police departments from the State Police, Dutchess County Sheriff’s Office, East Fishkill, Wappingers Falls, Town of Poughkeepsie and Town of Poughkeepsie were needed at the school to restore the order.
