On March 31, police arrested Harry Malik Robertson, 20, of Bowie, Md., in connection to the fatal stabbing of Gerald Williams, 20, a junior at Morgan State University.

The Feb. 1 incident occurred on the 1500 block of Pentridge Road at a gated off-campus student housing complex called Morgan View, where a fight broke out following a Morgan State versus Coppin State basketball game.

The suspect was arrested in Prince George’s County without incident. He is currently being charged with first- and second-degree murder and possession of a deadly weapon with the intent to injure.
