A witness at the party in which former Syracuse football player Naesean Howard is alleged to have stabbed two former teammates described Howard as having “tunnel vision” and being “very determined” when carrying out the Saturday stabbing.

Howard was charged with two counts of assault and criminal possession of a weapon on Saturday as police responded to a stabbing incident Saturday on South Campus, said Syracuse police public information officer Sgt. Richard Helterline. The stabbing happened shortly after 6 p.m. Saturday at 321 Slocum Heights Drive., Helterline said.

The party was attended by at least 100 people, the witness said, and the get together dispersed shortly after attendees saw a man with a knife chasing after a bloody-mouthed man.
