  "account": "On Saturday morning, a University of Massachusetts Dartmouth football player was killed and another injured in a stabbing incident in Providence, Rhode Island. The victim, 18-year-old Marvins Antoine, succumbed to his injuries at Rhode Island Hospital. Antoine was a freshman running back on the UMass Dartmouth football team. The incident occurred after the team played a home game against Framingham State, losing the match. The team members went to the Mezzo Lounge nightclub in Providence, where an altercation ensued. The fight then moved to the parking lot of a nearby Wendy's restaurant around midnight, where a 19-year-old freshman defensive back, Kensley Macean, and Antoine were stabbed. Macean sustained non-life-threatening injuries to his head, neck, and left arm. UMass Dartmouth police arrested a 19-year-old student, Chukuwnonoso Uzoma Eze, on campus and charged him with murder. Eze, who is not part of the football team, fled the scene but was later identified through Flock cameras and apprehended. UMass Dartmouth Chancellor Mark Fuller expressed condolences to Antoine's family, friends, classmates, and teammates, also extending his thoughts to Macean's recovery. Antoine, who graduated from Durfee High School in Fall River, was described by his former teammate Orlando Delgado as a role model and a peacemaker. Delgado's mother, Ashania Chambers, and Xavier Gracia, another former high school teammate, also praised Antoine's character and the impact he had on his peers.",
