Police in Frostburg, Md., went to a home on Maple Street about 1:30 a.m. and found 19-year-old Kortneigh McCoy bleeding in the street. McCoy, of Baltimore, was taken to an area hospital where she was pronounced dead.

McCoy got into a fight with several people inside the home, police said. When she left, 23-year-old Shanee Liggins followed her outside and stabbed her, police said.

Liggins, of Waldorf, was arrested and charged with first- and second-degree murder. Police have not revealed a motive for the stabbing at this time and said the investigation is ongoing.

Both women were students at Frostburg State University.
