This took place after a student-organized event in what I would say is the most centralized activity hall on campus; fights broke out outside Williard Straight Hall after the event was over, and this poor 19-year old from Brooklyn was stabbed to death. Having close connections to both colleges, I am overwhelmed and so sad to hear this news.
My daughter attends Cornell. She texted DH and I early this morning after getting the Cornell alert. I believe this was an Omega Psi Phi event at Willard Straight Hall. It’s not even worth speculating right now as to what went down. There are so many possibilities of what could have transpired, none of which are good outcomes.
Man, so awful. My thoughts go out to all involved and I hope justice is served.
I am so sad. My heart goes out to this young man’s family.
