Jasper Howard, a junior cornerback from Miami and the first member of his family to attend college, was 20. Two groups of people scuffled as a dance at the student union was letting out, and at least one other person was stabbed but survived, police said. The perpetrator has not been captured, police told the Hartford Courant.
