[The Straight Story]

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Police said on Monday that they took a 17-year-old girl in custody and charged her in connection with the stabbing death of a 19-year-old girl.

The stabbing occurred at about 8 p.m. Sunday outside a Majestic Drive home on the east side, 10TV's Tino Ramos reported.

Police said that two groups of teenagers were outside arguing when someone pulled a knife and stabbed Ganae N. Pleasant.

Pleasant was driven to Grant Medical Center by one of the people who were at the scene. She was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

This is right down the street from me. My one neighbor heard the fight and was going to call the police but her husband told her not to get involved (though she did later talk to detectives). The girl who did the stabbing had never caused problems here before (and no one recalls any other incidents at the house).
