Police probe Cornell brawl that left Ithaca student dead

Police identified Anthony Nazaire, 19, of Brooklyn, as the IC student who died from his injuries after he was transported to the Cayuga Medical Center.

Rawlings said, “Of the many eyewitnesses, including those who may possess cell-phone videos, some have given testimony or provided videos while others have not”.

Officials say that Nazaire attended an orientation party hosted by the Cornell chapter of Omega Psi Phi.

Anthony’s older sister Kiara Nazaire told People magazine that this meaningless tragedy started with a simple push.

Nazaire’s family said he was from Brooklyn and spent the summer working on Coney Island, said The Cornell Sun.

Ithaca College President Tom Rochon said in a statement: ‘I hope you will hold these students – along with their families, friends, classmates, and professors – in your thoughts and prayers at this hard and tragic time’.

“He was a really nice kid”, Amber Edwards said.

“What saddens me the most is he didn’t die here in Flatbush but died away at school”, she said, adding that this was the first murder in Ithaca in almost five years. We stand in solidarity with all of the members of the Ithaca College and Cornell University communities during this very hard time. “Instead, we must reflect, together, on what we can do to honor Anthony Nazaire’s life and memory”, Hamilton said.

The weapon was located and the area secured, however, the weapon used hasn’t been specified, the New York Daily News reported.
