PHOENIX - Almost a week after a 16-year-old was stabbed and killed at Maryvale High School in Phoenix, students have returned to the school campus.
The backstory:
The deadly incident happened on Aug. 19.
According to Phoenix Police, a school safety officer was alerted by school staff members that an assault had happened inside a classroom.
"The officer was directed to the administration building, where he detained one of the students involved," police said. "A second student was located by officers and firefighters suffering from multiple stab wounds. He was quickly treated on scene and rushed to the hospital, where he died from his injuries."
The victim was identified as Michael Montoya II, and on Aug. 21, the suspect was identified by Phoenix Police as 16-year-old Chris Daniel Aguilar.
Per court documents, Aguilar is accused of a count of second-degree murder. He is being charged as an adult.
According to investigators, one post made on social media stated that Aguilar and Montoya met up on Aug. 18 for a deal, and Montoya allegedly robbed Aguilar of a firearm.
"The defendant was mad about the robbery and made statements that he was going to murder the victim," read a portion of the court documents.

Maryvale HS students return after stabbing
Almost a week after a 16-year-old died in a stabbing at Maryvale High School in Phoenix, students are returning to the campus. FOX 10's Kenzie Beach reports.
Local perspective:
In the days following the incident, students were learning from home.
Meanwhile, some parents have expressed concerns in the incident's aftermath.
"I don't think she's safe here at all," said Rocio Solis, whose daughter attends Maryvale High School as a senior. "I don't think [anybody] deserves that, especially if you think your kid is in a safe zone."
On Aug. 25, one Maryvale High School senior we spoke with said there was an eerie feeling as he came back to campus.
"It can be hard to not think about those things," the student, Richard Pena-Gomez, said. "I just want to go to school."
What's next:
A judge has set a $500,000 cash-only bond for Aguilar. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 28.
"A little bit weird, knowing what happened, but I'm just trying not to let it ruin what I'm thinking about, because stuff like that, it can definitely get to you, if you think about it all the time," said the senior.
What they're saying:
Officials with the Phoenix Union High School District, which Maryvale High School is a part of, say there will be additional safety measures in place at Maryvale High for the week, including the presence of local law enforcement.
However, officials say they are "not able to discuss sensitive safety protocols, including the settings of the weapon detection system."
