A Second Victim Identified from the UCONN Football Team

From the Associated Press comes a report that identifies the second victim in Saturday night’s stabbing, also a UCONN football player:

Another Connecticut football player has been identified as the second victim in Sunday morning’s fatal stabbing at the University of Connecticut.

Brian Parker, a 19-year-old sophomore wide receiver from Sarasota, Fla., sustained minor injuries in the attack that killed teammate Jasper Howard outside a university-sponsored dance.

Parker, who is academically ineligible this season, is identified in a police report stemming from the arrest of Johnny Hood, a Hartford man taken into custody after the fight on charges of breach of peace and interfering with police.

Though Brian Parker seems to be fine and was able to identify Hood—who remains in police custody—it’s still unclear as to whether Hood will be charged with the stabbings. In fact, as police have yet to narrow their search for a suspect, it would indicated that Hood, the one man they have in custody, is probably not the murderer. Stay tuned, as we’ll be keeping you updated throughout.
