Police Probe Cornell Brawl That Left Ithaca Student Dead

ITHACA, N.Y. (AP) — Police in New York are investigating a brawl on the campus of Cornell University that left an Ithaca College student dead and another Ithaca student injured.

Both schools have posted statements on their websites, saying the two students were stabbed early Sunday morning during a large fight.

Police say several hundred college-age people had attended a student-organized event at the student union, and that several fights broke out afterward. Officials have identified the slain student as 19-year-old Anthony Nazaire, a sophomore majoring in business administration from Brooklyn.

The other unidentified Ithaca student was treated and released from a hospital.

Police have not named any suspects in the stabbing.

Ithaca says a campus-wide gathering for students, faculty and staff is scheduled for Monday afternoon.
