Just hours after his team's win over Louisville, Jasper Howard was stabbed to death, following an altercation. Jasper Howard, 20, of Miami was a junior and starting cornerback at UConn.
State Police major crime unit and UConn police say the stabbing happened just after 12:30 a.m. Sunday on Hillside Road near the center of campus. Police said two people were stabbed and were found near each other on Hillside Road. Both were taken by UConn ambulances to Windham Community Memorial Hospital.
Howard was airlifted by LifeStar to St. Francis where he died. Police also said there was a second victim who is not being identified and was treated and released from the hospital, but it does not name which hospital or say if the second victim was male or female.
Police said the stabbing happened when a school-sponsored dance at the student union was let out. A fire alarm was pulled at 12:26 a.m., an altercation happened outside the building between two groups of people and then two people were stabbed.~source
This is such a tragedy. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends, and students at UConn. May Jasper Howard RIP.
