Suspect arrested for stabbing student

BY MATT BITTLE Copy Desk Chief

Crowds of LBGTQ supporters cheered last Tuesday, as Delaware became the 11th state to allow samesex couples to marry. Despite the divide in the Senate and the lack of more tangible rights afforded to same-sex married couples, Gov. Jack Markell (D-Del.) signed the House Bill 75 (H.B. 75) and said he saw it as a victory for the state of Delaware. Markell said there was a significant amount of controversy surrounding the bill, causing the vote to be very close in Congress. The bill passed in the Senate in a vote of 12 to 9 and in the House 23 to 18, he said.

Delaware Governor Jack Markell signs the historic same-sex marriage bill. He said the bill was introduced last month, although same-sex marriage is a topic that has been argued about for decades. The bill gives equal respect to people regardless of their sexual preference, Markell said. It is also important for the children of same-sex couples who will have their parents recognized under the law, he said.

Junior Mary Crowley, president of College Democrats, said she has been an active supporter of gay rights since she was a child. She said she has had discussions with her family about it since she was in kindergarten because it was a serious hot-button issue in her house.

A stabbing in the parking lot behind the Galleria at approximately 1:20 a.m. Sunday resulted in one man being sent to the hospital, according to police. Newark Police Department chief Paul Tiernan said an argument between two men broke out, leading to a fight. The victim, a 22-year-old male student at the university, was stabbed in the altercation, he said. The victim has not been identified by police, and Newark police spokesman MCpl. Gerald Bryda said he could not provide the victim’s name, citing department policy. However, according to reports by the Wilmington News Journal, the victim is junior Trevor Sasek, a quarterback on the football team. The university declined to comment on the victim’s identity. Bryda said the victim, to his knowledge, was in stable condition in the hospital. After the victim was stabbed,

he was then taken to Christiana Hospital by a friend, while police were notified by witnesses soon after the fight, Bryda said. Tiernan said the stabbing took place in the city’s parking lot #1, located at 54 E. Delaware Ave. behind Sharp Hall. The suspect, Michael Creed, a 25-year-old resident of Newark, was arrested yesterday and is in police custody, Tiernan said. Investigators utilized nearby surveillance cameras to identify a vehicle the suspect used, he said. Tiernan said the suspect began yelling at a group of people, which included the victim. When the victim approached, the suspect then leaned into a car before coming out again. “The victim grabbed the suspect by the shoulder and the suspect was seen making punching motions toward the victim,” Tiernan said. “The suspect then ran away and the victim noticed that he had been stabbed.”

Timeflies originated in Boston and features two group members, Rob Resnick and Cal Shapiro. The group, which plays pop music and also features freestyle raps from Shapiro, is well known for weekly free music releases, known as “Timeflies Tuesday.” On April 9, SCPAB revealed on its Facebook page that Timeflies would be the Senior Fling performer. Seeley said the announcement was met with enthusiastic responses from students. “It went over really well,” Seeley said. “We got tons of great feedback. It’s kind of the type of music that people are listening to on campus.”
