The youngster’s body was discovered in the street outside Hurst Dove Primary School in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire. The development has caused a stir in the community.
He was found down a residential road with stab wounds at around 9.30pm last night.
Emergency services were called to the scene – where they tried to save him – but tragically pronounced he was dead.
Officers have now launched a murder investigation and are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
A police spokesman said: “Officers were called at 9.30pm yesterday to Hurst Drive, Waltham Cross, to reports of a stabbing.
“The victim, a 15-year-old boy, was treated by paramedics but was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
“Officers from the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Major Crime Unit have now launched a murder investigation.
“They are working, with the support of the victim’s family, to establish the circumstances around the incident.”
Residents spoke of their shock of the murder, Kathy Clarke, a grandmother of seven, said: “I heard the helicopter last night and I told my husband I think something awful has happened.
“I went to the dentists this morning and I heard there that someone had died.”
Another resident added: “I was on the landing at home and saw blue lights flashing and looked out the window and saw what was going on.
“Nobody was telling me what had happened but my friend who lives in Sandringham Way posted in Facebook that somebody had been stabbed. She later posted she heard the child had died.”
