STORRS, Conn. -- A Connecticut football player who was an expectant father was stabbed to death early Sunday after an on-campus dance, just hours after helping his team to a homecoming victory.

Jasper Howard, 20, of Miami, and another student were stabbed during a fight after a fire alarm was pulled during a university sanctioned dance at the UConn Student Union just after 12:30 a.m., police said.

Police had not identified a suspect or released the name of the other victim.

I guess on Monday there was an arrest related to the stabbing, but the person arrested is still a suspect, he hasn't been charged with the murder. Man I hope they find the person responsible.

On Monday, a Hartford man was detained in connection with the stabbing, police said. Johnny Hood, 21, was being held on $100,000 bond, charged with interfering with an officer and breach of peace, but had not been charged in the killing.

Witnesses identified him as being involved in the fight, and he gave police a fake name, cops said.
