FIU running back Kendall Berry was stabbed to death on the school's main campus late Thursday night. Police are searching for multiple suspects.
Berry was stabbed around 9PM Thursday according to Miami-Dade police Detective Javier Baez.
Police were interviewing "several people that observed the incident," Baez said, although he could not confirm if a suspect was in custody.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to Kendall's family," FIU President Mark B. Rosenberg said in a news release. "We are here to support them and our entire university community as all of us come to terms with this tragedy."
Shortly after the university confirmed Berry's death, FIU indefinitely postponed football coaching clinics scheduled for Friday and Saturday. The football team's annual spring game is scheduled for Wednesday. It is unknown if the game will go on as scheduled.
Baez said the stabbing took place just outside the front doors of the campus recreation center, where he said the football team and other FIU athletes train.
Berry, according to Baez was involved in an argument with one or more people. "One produced some type of a weapon and stabbed him," Baez said.
Berry had 164 all-purpose yards in limited use as a freshman in 2007, appearing in all 12 FIU games that season. He sat out the 2008 season with a knee injury and then had some breakout moments in 2009, rushing for three touchdowns in a span of 13 minutes against Middle Tennessee and followed that up with two more scores the next week in a win over North Texas.
Here are highlights from the North Texas game, thanks to FIU their ownselves... Berry is #19...
He finished last season with a team-high seven touchdowns.
WSVN's Richard Jordan was live on campus...
