The 21 year-old John William Lomax III has been arrested and charged with the murder of UConn student and athlete Jasper Howard, who was brutally stabbed to death during a fight after an on-campus dance on Sunday, October 18. Jasper Howard’s girlfriend is expecting his baby (photos).

Lomax, who is not a student at UConn, was just out ‘partying’ and tried to break the fight, according to his lawyer. His bail was set at $2 million. Hakim Muhammad was also charged with conspiracy to commit assault and Jamal Todd with a felony charge of falsely reporting an incident and a misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment for pulling the fire alarm that emptied the dance early, which consequently triggered the fight.
