A first-degree murder charge has been laid against a 19-year-old man after a teenage girl was stabbed to death at a Leduc high school in Alberta on Monday.

Police were called to Christ the King School shortly before 10 a.m. where the 17-year-old girl was reportedly stabbed by a fellow student in a classroom.

On Tuesday, the girl was identified as Jennifer Winkler.

STARS Air Ambulance landed beside the school and airlifted Winkler in critical condition to the University of Alberta Hospital, where she died from her injuries.

The victim and the suspect knew each other, police said.

The suspect left the school after the stabbing but was arrested without incident in a nearby neighbourhood at 12:20 p.m.

On Tuesday, police announced Dylan Thomas Poutney, 19, is facing one count of first-degree murder. He remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in an Edmonton court on Tuesday.

Winkler’s family created a GoFundMe to help cover the cost of her funeral. As of Tuesday morning, it had raised almost $25,000, surpassing its $15,000 goal.
