Years after Houston ISD student’s stabbing death, officials join annual back-to-school safety initiative

Safe Walk Home Northside launched after the stabbing death of 11-year-old Josue Flores, who was attacked while walking home from school in 2016. Flores' death sparked calls for extra safety measures for students walking to and from school every day.
