(NY1) Officials say an Ithaca College student was fatally stabbed and another student injured in a fight on Cornell University’s campus.

Both schools posted statements saying the two students were stabbed around 2 a.m. Sunday during a large altercation.

Police say 19-year-old Anthony Nazaire, of Brooklyn, was taken to Cayuga Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. He was a student in the Ithaca College School of Business Administration.

The other unidentified Ithaca College student was treated for injuries and released.

“Definitely was a shock to me and everyone, I’m sure, who has heard about it,” one student said. “This is a campus we all see as a safe place, I see as home and stuff, so for this to happen, you know, right where we all go to class, where we all live — it’s a shock and it’s a tragedy, for sure.”

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 Ithaca Police Department is leading the investigation.
