VERNON, Conn. (AP) -Prosecutors say they have several witnesses who identified their murder suspect as the man who fatally stabbed a University of Connecticut football player outside a university-sanctioned dance.
Two people arrested in the stabbing, 21-year-old John William Lomax III and 20-year-old Hakim Muhammad, were arraigned in Rockville Superior Court on Wednesday. Lomax is charged with murder, while Mohammad is charged with conspiracy to commit assault. Both are from Bloomfield.
Prosecutors say both men went back to Lomax’s car after an argument early Oct. 18 outside the dance and came back with knives.
Lomax’s attorney denies that his client stabbed 21-year-old Jasper Howard. Howard, originally of Miami, died from a single stab wound to the abdomen.
