DA: Burke High School stabbing suspect tracked through the GPS device he was wearing as a condition of bail in another case

Once police established who their suspect was for a stabbing at Burke High School on Friday, they didn't have much trouble finding him: They just looked for a signal from the GPS braclet he already had on his ankle, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office reports.

The 16-year-old, not named because of his age, was arraigned in Dorchester Municipal Court yesterday on charges of being delinquent by way of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

Judge Michael Coyne imposed $1,000 bail, but declined a request by prosecutors to lock him up for allegedly violating his bail conditions on earlier, unrelated charges that include assault with a dangerous weapon, breaking and entering and larceny, the DA's office reports.

Coyne also ordered the youth to wear a GPS device - which he was already doing because of the earlier cases.

According to the DA's office, the kid and a 17-year-old student at the Burke got into an argument out behind the school around 4:15 p.m. on Friday, which the kid brought to a sudden halt by plunging a knife into the other teen's back. A family member rushed the teen to Boston Medical Center. The DA's office adds:

Officers seized a knife from the juvenile, which has been submitted for testing along with his clothing and the clothing worn by the victim when he was stabbed.
