Nazaire is Ithaca's first homicide victim since December 2011, police said.

The second victim, also an Ithaca College student, was taken to Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse. He graduated from Brooklyn Theatre Arts High School, and at IC he was a member of the executive board of Brothers4Brothers, a student organization dedicated to empowering men of color on our campus. The investigation is ongoing. According to surveillance pulled from cameras on the plaza, several people had recorded the incident on their cellphones and several motorists can also be seen driving past on nearby College Avenue.

The Ithaca Police Department (IPD) is leading an investigation into this tragic incident with the support of CUPD and other law enforcement agencies. We will be updating it as more information becomes available.

The college is reaching out to those who might need counseling assistance. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family and friends of the deceased.

The event was an orientation week gathering hosted by the Cornell chapter of Omega Psi Phi, a predominantly African-American service fraternity with hundreds of chapters around the world.
