*By Daily Press Staff*

A memorial will be held today at Santa Monica High School for 15-year-old Deanna Maran, the sophomore who was stabbed to death at a party Nov. 17.

Maran was allegedly killed by a 17-year-old Brentwood girl, Katrina Sarkissian, who died Sunday of an apparent suicide while she was in police custody. Sarkissian’s sister, an unidentified 15-year-old, reportedly fought with Maran. She then left the party and returned with her sister, Katrina, who allegedly stabbed Maran with an unknown object.

The memorial service is scheduled to begin at 3:45 p.m. in the school’s Greek theatre. For more information, call Santa Monica High School at (310) 395-3204.
