STORRS, Conn. -- A University of Connecticut starting cornerback died Sunday morning after being fatally stabbed on campus, hours after the team's victory against Louisville, WFSB-TV in Hartford, Conn., reported.

Jasper Howard, 20, was stabbed near the center of the UConn campus early Sunday morning, university police said.

Another person was also stabbed, but had been treated and released from the hospital by late Sunday morning.

The stabbing occurred at 12:33 a.m. after an event on campus with about 300 attendees, both students and non-students, UConn police said. Someone had pulled an alarm and everyone was outside, UConn police Maj. Ron Blicher said.

Police said an argument erupted outside and the stabbing was the result of dispute.

Howard and another victim were taken to a local hospital.

No one was in custody Sunday morning. State police are involved in the investigation.

A text was sent at about 3:30 a.m. to everyone who has signed up to receive emergency texts from the university. An e-mail was sent to students and faculty at UConn and an "Emergency Condition" notice was posted to the university's Web site.

Howard, a junior, led the Big East in punt returns last season and recovered a fumble in UConn 38-25 victory Saturday over Louisville.
