Georgia high school student high on pot stabbed to death her teen cousin in her front yard during a weekend fight, police said.
Abbey Hebert was found covered in stab wounds outside her Cobb County home just before 9 a.m. Saturday after a fight with her 18-year-old cousin, Olivia Smith, WGCL-TV
reported.
The two had a sleepover after an Allatoona High School football game Friday night and later went to Chick-fil-A near Hebert’s Acworth home, according to an arrest warrant.
After smoking marijuana, the two had a fight and Smith pulled out a kitchen knife and stabbed her 17-year-old cousin, the accused killer told cops.
Hebert fled but Smith gave chase, repeatedly stabbing the girl in the front yard as horrified witnesses looked on, Cobb County cops
told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
“The neighbors heard a lot,” Cobb County police Sgt. Dana Pierce told the newspaper. “There were a lot of things being yelled and hollered.”
The teen admitted to cops that she killed her cousin.
Just two weeks ago, the cousins were tweeting loving messages at each other.
“Love you sweet girl,” Smith tweeted.
“Love you more than life,” Hebert wrote back.
And, last week, Hebert tweeted at Smith asking her to come over.
Friends told the station the two were very close friends.
Police have not revealed a motive for the killing and Smith is being held without bail.
On the first day back to school since Hebert’s life was cut short, students at Allatoona High School, where Hebert was a senior, wore black to remember their fellow classmate.
