A fight between siblings turned deadly on Thursday in southeast Oklahoma City. Police said a teenager died but no one has been arrested. Police identified the victim as 13-year-old Immanuel Taylor and said he died from stab wounds to the chest.
Police were called at 10:51 p.m. to investigate a domestic disturbance at a home near southeast 44th street and Sunnylane Road. Officers were told a fight broke out between Taylor and his teenage sibling. Police said the other teenager armed themselves with a knife and ended up stabbing Taylor during a confrontation. Taylor died at the hospital.

Police officials said everyone involved in altercation cooperate with investigators and they were released after questioning.
