UMass Dartmouth student charged in stabbing death of football player Marvins Antoine
University of Massachusetts Dartmouth student Chukwunonso Uzoma-Eze is charged in the stabbing death of running back Marvins Antoine.
Chukwunonso Uzoma-Eze, a 19-year-old University of Massachusetts Dartmouth student, has been charged with murder in the death of Marvins Antoine, an 18-year-old football player. Uzoma-Eze appeared in New Bedford District Court and pleaded not guilty to the charges. Authorities claim the incident occurred on September 19 after an altercation outside Mezzo Lounge in Providence, which then moved to a Wendy's parking lot.
Antoine was stabbed in the chest and died at a local hospital, while 19-year-old Kensley Macean suffered non-life-threatening injuries to the head, neck, and left arm. Police identified Uzoma-Eze based on witness statements and surveillance footage. The suspect's vehicle was also tracked by cameras. Authorities do not believe Uzoma-Eze personally knew either victim.
The altercation began outside the busy Mezzo Lounge, which had reached capacity, leading to a dispute that escalated into the fatal stabbing.
