Sentencing has been delayed in the case of a man convicted in connection to the stabbing death of an Arlington High School student.

Nestor Ortiz-Ocampo, previously charged with fatally stabbing 16-year-old Quraan Smith, an Arlington High School student, was expected in Dutchess County Court today.

Although acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges, Ortiz-Ocampo was convicted of criminal possession of a weapon.

His attorneys argued self-defense during a melee following a football game in September 2021.

The conviction could lead to a maximum one-year jail sentence.

There was no reason given for the adjournment.
