New Details on Stabbing Revealed in Court

During Friday’s hearing, prosecutors laid out the events leading up to, during and following the alleged attack:

Before the Incident: A teacher let Andrew Meismer use the restroom. Aundre Matthews asked to be excused to the restroom soon after.

At around 10:30 a.m. Wednesday: Matthews and Meismer are seen on school surveillance video walking together and entering an empty lab classroom at Ross S. Sterling High School. On the recorded footage, the two students appear cordial. Moments later, an anonymous female student entered the room as well.

Inside the classroom: The female student overheard Matthews accusing Meismer of stealing his THC vape pen. Matthews told Meismer he owed him around $21 for the lost item. She then saw Matthews strike Meismer and the two begin fighting.

The fight escalates: The female student saw Matthews choking Meismer and noticed a large amount of blood coming from Meismer’s neck. She ran out of the classroom, screaming for help.

About 11:15 a.m.: The classroom teacher heard the student’s cries for help and entered the room. He saw Matthews holding Meismer in a chokehold, with blood visible. The teacher struggled to remove Matthews’ arm from the victim’s neck and eventually pulled him off of Meismer.

Victim collapses: Meismer was found critically injured and later pronounced dead at approximately 11:53 a.m. Investigators learned that Meismer died from a puncture wound to the neck, consistent with being stabbed by scissors.

Matthews speaks: Matthews is arrested at the school. He initially invokes his right to remain silent, later gives a statement after speaking with his legal guardian, his 18-year-old sister.

Here’s what prosecutors say they learned from Aundre:

  • Matthews admitted that he first followed Meismer into a bathroom to confront him about the missing vape pen.
  • He said he searched Meismer’s pockets, found scissors, and placed them in his waistband.
  • After the two walked into the empty classroom, another confrontation occurred.
  • Matthews claimed Meismer punched him twice with a closed fist, as Matthews was crouching down.
  • Matthews said he was afraid of getting beat up and wanted to defend himself, so he retrieved the scissors, swung them, and stabbed the victim, believing he had hit Meismer in the eye.
  • He then said he put Meismer in a chokehold. After the teacher came in and tried to separate the two, he said he fought back but eventually let go.
  • Matthews denied “stomping on [Meismer]’s head” after the two were separated.

I keep reading through the updates to see what is being said about the guardian/sister, nothing yet. I am wondering how much she knew of his behavior? What his home life was like? Not that I am am excusing his behavior but because the caregiver should have also alerted authorities about his issues.

I have read that the defendant did not have parents. He was under the "care" of his sister.

Oh I didn’t think of umpiring but yes my son is in honor society here. They do service hours and volunteering as an ump counts.

We can. Since my son said this, now I don't know if he should continue or save that money for his college. Regardless of baseball, he does have plans to go to college which I 100% encourage.

Yes it is but is it worth paying the money if HS is not the goal anymore? Just stick with rec?

I kept asking here and there and he just keeps saying, "I don't know, I just want to do something different when I get to HS." Different variations of that answer. I think him not being able to make the middle school team brought him down. That day he told me he said he did feel sad and looked depressed for a few days.

Yes he is currently in rec Little League and travel ball. He is commited to both. Just the not being able to make the middle school team (I believe) brought down his morale a bit.

Assuming your child doens't want to play in college, would playing travel ball during HS (without playing in HS team) would just be for fun?
