Wilmington Police Chief Bobby Cummings said the charges are expected to be filed by the end of the week, according to the Associated Press.
WPD is working with Delaware Attorney General Matt Denn’s office and the state’s Division of Forensic Science investigating Amy Inita Joyner-Francis’ death.
The high school sophomore and honor roll student was killed after a fight with fellow students broke out in a girls bathroom last Thursday. Joyner-Francis was airlifted to the hospital, where she died from her injuries.
