Jasper Howard died after being stabbed outside a dance on UConn's campus.
UConn and state police investigating the stabbing death of Jasper Howard are looking for all photos and video taken inside or outside the student union on the night he died.
People have been coming forward with footage from the night Jasper Howard, 20, a junior and starting corner back from Miami was stabbed outside the Student Union at around 12:30 a.m. Sunday, according to UConn police. But they are looking for more.
"This can include images that you took, or that someone else has given to you. Remember that no image is insignificant," UConn police said in a message sent to members of the UConn community.
It was during a fight between two groups after a dance sponsored by the school's West Indian Awareness Organization was evacuated because someone pulled a fire alarm, police said. The medical examiner said on Monday that Howard’s death was a homicide and he died of a stab wound to the abdomen.
Police have made one arrest, for interfering with an officer and breach of peace. And a Hartford attorney said he expects his client, a Bloomfield man, to be arrested in connection with the stabbing death of UConn football player
