FIU's Kendall Berry stabbed to death
Florida International University running back Kendall Berry was stabbed to death last night on FIU’s University Park (Modesto Maidique campus). Witnesses say that Berry and an unnamed man were arguing in front of the school’s recreational facility before Berry was stabbed. Paramedics arrived at the scene to transport him to the hospital where unfortunately Berry died en route. As of now, Miami-Dade police do not have any suspects in custody.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to Kendall’s family,” said FIU President Mark B. Rosenberg. “We are here to support them and our entire university community as all of us come to terms with this tragedy.” This incident is sending shock waves throughout the FIU and college football community. The story sounds all too familiar to that of former University of Connecticut cornerback Jasper Howard. Howard was stabbed to death on UConn’s campus on October 19, 2009.
FIU has suspended their spring practices indefinitely as they try to make sense of everything that has happened. Twenty-two years old is far too young to die, hopefully local law enforcement authorities can piece together a successful investigation and bring in the criminal responsible for Berry’s death.
