The UConn cornerback Jasper Howard was stabbed in the abdomen last Saturday Ocotber 17th. A fire alarm was pulled at about 12:26 PM during a student sponsored dance. Apparently a fight broke out between two groups of people around 12:33 and Howard and an unidentified body were both stabbed. Howard was air lifted to St. Francis Hospital in Hartford. He was pronounced dead early Sunday morning. The football coach, Esdall, had to identify the body because all of his family lives in Florida. Howard was a father to be, a brother to all on his football team and a beloved son to his mom.
This is one of those stories that I hate even hearing about. I really don't understand what can drive someone to hate another so much that they would kill them. From the sounds of it Jasper didn't have a whole lot of enemies. A teammate of his Desi Cullen was actually in tears when describing his, and the whole football teams, relationship with Howard. His mom was also in tears while she tried to choke out what a good kid her son was. He was also a father to be. That is the saddest part I think. The fact that this little baby is going to be born into the world without a father is heart breaking. I really hope that the murderer is found and put away for his awful crime.
