Shanee Liggins, 23, of Waldorf, faces first- and
second-degree murder and assault charges,
according to police.

After a brief hearing in Cumberland Monday,
Liggins' parents hustled away from cameras,
declining to comment. Earlier, Darryl Liggins had
said he is stunned by the charges against his
daughter.

“She's just the most responsible child I have ever
seen. I just can't get my head around it,” he told
ABC7 News Sunday at his home in Waldorf.

“Something so simple that could be resolved
without violence. I don't understand it. It’s
ridiculous,” said Frostburg State student Ryan
Growski.

At the home where the killing happened, a trash
can on the front porch is filled with crime scene
tape and red party cups. According to charging
documents, Liggins was collecting money as a cover
charge to a party at the house where she lives
when McCoy and her friends arrived. An argument
ensued between one of McCoy's friends and Liggins.
McCoy then allegedly became involved in the verbal
altercation.

After the argument, the documents say that McCoy
went outside the house and encountered one of her
friends. She allegedly told the friend that she
was going to fight a girl, then changed course and
said she was only going to talk to her.

A short time later, Liggins allegedly came out of
the house and a fight ensued between her and
McCoy, during which blows were exchanged,
including one from McCoy to Liggins that opened a
cut on her lip.

The documents allege that at this point, the
suspect had a knife in her hand; some witnesses
saw it while others did not. During the course of
the fight, Liggins then allegedly stabbed McCoy
twice, once in the head and once in the neck." - &
