Ithaca College student fatally stabbed in fight on Cornell campus

The college is offering counseling assistance beginning at 10 a.m.in the lounge in the Circles Community Building, and a larger community gathering is also being planned, according to a statement released on behalf of President Tom Rochon.

Another man was found stabbed, but was treated for his injuries and released from the SUNY Upstate University Hospital.

Police say he and another Ithaca student were hurt in fights that broke out after an event on the Cornell University campus.

Neither student has been identified, pending family notification. “Please be sure to take care of yourselves and each other throughout the coming days”, Ryan Lombardi, Cornell’s vice president for student at campus life, said in a statement.

Police say several hundred college-age people had attended a student-organized event in Willard Straight Hall and that several fights took place outside after the event ended.

The injured student was released after treatment, the Ithaca Police Department said. The perpetrator or perpetrators have not been identified.

Ithaca College notified its community about the stabbing Sunday morning. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone who might have information on this incident is asked to contact the Ithaca Police Department at 607-272-3245, or on the tipline number at 607-697-0333.
