11. "the victim told investigators that they were fighting over a boy."

In an email, sheriff's spokesperson Teri Barbera said the victim and the girl who could be seen hitting her had agreed to meet. The victim "was under the impression the two were meeting to 'talk,'" though the suspect "apparently told the victim she wanted to meet to fight."

Barbera said the two girls, who attended different high schools, know each other and have a history of confrontations. In interviews after the confrontation, Barbera said the victim told investigators that they were fighting over a boy.

"Never was the discussion of being a muslim ever brought up," Barbera added. "Race was never brought up."

Bullying also didn't appear to be a factor, Barbera said. She added that the victim was wearing a shirt that said "bulls" because that is the mascot of her high school.

Shakeel Munshi, the girl's father, was out of town at the time of the altercation and not at the scene, Barbera also said.
