![A 19-year-old University of Massachusetts Dartmouth student pleaded not guilty Monday to a fugitive from justice charge in the fatal stabbing of Corsairs freshman running back Marvins Antoine.
Chukwunonso Uzoma-Eze appeared in New Bedford District Court on Sept. 21, where he waived extradition and was ordered held without bail. He is expected to be transferred to Rhode Island within a week to face a murder charge in Antoine’s death, along with a planned felony assault charge in the wounding of another teammate.
Antoine, 18, a Boston native and Durfee High School graduate, was stabbed in the chest shortly after midnight Saturday, Sept. 19, in a Wendy’s parking lot on Charles Street in Providence. He was pronounced dead at Rhode Island Hospital. Teammate Kensley Macean, 19, a freshman defensive back from Dighton, suffered non-life-threatening wounds to the head, neck, and left arm.
Providence police said the violence followed an altercation outside Mezzo Lounge, where Antoine, Macean, and other UMass Dartmouth football players had gone after Friday night’s home game against Framingham State. Officers said the club had reached capacity. A dispute involving a woman leaving the venue spilled across the street into the restaurant parking lot. Police have said there is no indication Uzoma-Eze knew Antoine or Macean before the encounter and that he is not a member of the football team.
He was arrested Saturday by UMass Dartmouth police. Defense attorney Jay Odunukwe described his client as a bright student with no criminal record who “goes to church with his family regularly,” adding that “the evidence will show eventually that he was basically minding his business.”
Antoine had just begun his first season at UMass Dartmouth. Listed at 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds, the former Durfee running back had not yet appeared in a collegiate game. Last year he earned All-Scholastic recognition and was nominated for the Otto Graham Award, given to a top senior among South Coast high schools. Friends and former teammates remembered him as a leader who looked out for younger players.

![A U.S. military aircraft left Port-au-Prince on Sunday, September 20, carrying 18 men accused in the July 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse. The group includes 17 former Colombian soldiers and Joseph Félix Badio, a former Haitian Justice Ministry official long identified by Haitian investigators as a central figure in the plot. They arrived in Miami to face federal charges in the Southern District of Florida.
U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones confirmed the transfer, writing that 18 defendants were “transported in military plane from Haiti to face American justice.” He said 30 people have now been indicted in the case and that prosecutors are “not finished.” Haiti’s Justice Minister Patrick Pelissier confirmed the handover, saying the plane carried the 17 Colombians and Badio, whom Haitian authorities have described as the plot’s “orchestra leader.”
The men boarded the gray military aircraft at Toussaint Louverture International Airport shortly before 11 a.m., dressed in light blue jumpsuits. They appeared in a Miami federal courtroom on Monday. Badio, 63, was brought in by wheelchair. The others arrived shackled. They face charges including conspiracy to kill or kidnap a person outside the United States and providing material support resulting in death. Those offenses carry potential life sentences.
Moïse, 53, was shot dead in his bedroom at his private residence in Pétion-Ville on the night of July 6–7, 2021. His wife, Martine Moïse, was wounded but survived. The attack, carried out by a commando of mostly Colombian former soldiers, created a political vacuum that has fueled years of gang violence and displacement. U.S. prosecutors have long argued the plot was planned and financed in part from South Florida.
Several people have already been convicted in Miami. In May 2026, a federal jury found four men guilty of conspiring to kill or kidnap Moïse and providing material support for the plot. Others have pleaded guilty. The new transfers come days before the scheduled trial of Christian Emmanuel Sanon, a South Florida resident accused of seeking to replace Moïse as president.

![Florida health officials have confirmed the state’s first dengue-related death of 2026 as locally acquired infections continue to rise.
The woman was identified by her family as Gay Small, a Tampa resident who died on September 4, her 80th birthday. Her death certificate listed dengue infection, septic shock and multiple-organ failure. The Florida Department of Health confirmed the dengue-related death on September 18 but did not publicly identify her.
The outbreak has been especially severe in Hillsborough County. Florida reported 152 locally acquired dengue cases through September 12, including 134 in Hillsborough County. “Locally acquired” means the infection was contracted in Florida rather than during travel abroad.
Dengue spreads through infected mosquitoes. Health officials are urging residents to use insect repellent, empty containers holding standing water and take precautions against mosquito bites.

![Thinking about using a fake pay stub to qualify for an apartment in Florida? A new law could turn that decision into a felony charge.
Starting October 1, 2026, Florida law will make it a third-degree felony to knowingly use forged or counterfeit documents, including pay stubs and bank statements, to obtain a residential rental and take possession of the property. The law also covers certain false identity statements and impersonating someone else on a rental application.
That distinction matters: simply having a rental application denied is not the offense described in this law. The law specifically addresses people who use the listed forms of fraud to get into a rental property.
The measure was signed into law in June and takes effect next month. For renters trying to meet income requirements, it is a reminder that submitting fake documents can carry consequences far beyond losing out on an apartment.

![Five years after the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse, 18 suspects have been transferred from Haiti to South Florida to face federal charges in connection with his killing.
The group was flown to the United States on Sunday, September 20, aboard a military aircraft. Among those transferred were 17 Colombian nationals and Joseph Félix Badio, a former Haitian Justice Ministry official identified as a key suspect in the investigation.
Moïse was shot and killed at his home on July 7, 2021. U.S. prosecutors say 30 people have now been indicted in connection with the assassination. Four men were convicted in a Miami federal court in May, and the investigation is continuing.
The latest transfer moves another part of the case into U.S. courts after years of delays in Haiti. The 18 defendants have not been convicted in these proceedings, and their cases will now move through the federal court system in South Florida.

![Haitian artist claimed two of the night’s most meaningful moments at the 2026 @caribmusicawards as rising dancehall star Ayetian (@1gyalevryday) took home Best New Artist after entering the night with seven nominations, and konpa legend @AlanCavé received the Elite Konpa Honor.
The fourth annual ceremony, held Saturday, September 19 at the National Academy for the Performing Arts, marked the awards’ first staging in the Caribbean after three years in Brooklyn. The dual spotlight on Ayetian and Cavé highlights both the new generation carrying Haitian sound onto global stages and the genre’s foundational voices.
Haitian-Jamaican artist Ayetian, entered the night as one of only a handful of acts with seven nominations, matching Machel Montano and V’ghn and trailing only Lady Lava’s nine. He did not sweep every category, but he left Trinidad with hardware: Best New Artist.
The win is a breakthrough for a 21-year-old whose hits “1 Gyal Every Day,” “Tip,” “Balance,” and “Wah Yo Deh Pon,” plus his recent project JamPack, have pushed a Haitian-Jamaican hybrid sound into the dancehall conversation. His nominations included Dancehall Best New Artist, Dancehall Impact Award, and collaborations such as “Wah Yo Deh Pon” with Govana and “Tip (Remix)” with Skillibeng.
For Haitian audiences, the moment was bigger than one trophy. A young artist raised in a Haitian household, now moving through Jamaica’s dancehall lane, walked into the region’s biggest music awards with seven nominations and walked out a winner.
Alan Cavé, the unmistakable voice of Zin and one of konpa’s defining solo artists, was named the 2026 Elite Konpa Honoree. Organizers cited his decades of work shaping the genre, from Zin-era classics to a solo catalog that has soundtracked generations of Haitian and diaspora listeners.
The honor arrives as the awards introduce a new Konpa Song of the Year category, placing Cavé’s recognition at a moment when the genre is being given fuller institutional space. His music including enduring records like “Se pa pou dat” has long carried Haitian culture beyond Haiti’s borders.

![Marvins Antoine, an 18-year-old Haitian-American freshman running back at UMass Dartmouth, was fatally stabbed early Saturday in Providence after an altercation that began near a nightclub and spilled into a Wendy’s parking lot. A teammate was also stabbed. A 19-year-old fellow UMass Dartmouth student has been charged with murder.
Antoine died at Rhode Island Hospital from stab wounds to the chest. Police said the violence unfolded around 12:30 a.m. Saturday in the parking lot of the Wendy’s at 391 Charles Street, across from Mezzo Lounge. Officers found two young men with stab wounds. Kensley Macean, 19, a freshman defensive back on the same Corsairs team, was taken to the same hospital with injuries to the head, neck, and left arm that police described as non-life-threatening.
Both players had been at Mezzo Lounge with other teammates hours after UMass Dartmouth’s Friday night game. Police said the lounge became overcrowded and stopped letting people in. An altercation that started in or near the line moved across the street. Investigators have said they have not sure if Antoine and Macean were at the center of the first dispute, and Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez said there was no indication the suspect and the victims knew each other beforehand.
Police identified the suspect as Chukuwnonso Uzoma-eze, 19, a UMass Dartmouth student who is not on the football team. Witness interviews, surveillance video, and license-plate readers helped track him after he left the scene. He was taken into custody by UMass Dartmouth police on campus and later held by Massachusetts State Police. Providence police said a murder warrant is active in Rhode Island and that he is expected to be extradited. Murder is currently the sole charge announced.
Antoine was a 5-foot-10, 180-pound running back listed from Boston who starred at B.M.C. Durfee High School in Fall River after earlier time at Atlantis Charter. He had only recently begun college and had not appeared in a Corsairs game this season. Friends and former coaches described him as outgoing, funny, and full of promise a young man who had just started college two weeks earlier.

![Marvins Antoine, an 18-year-old Haitian-American freshman running back at UMass Dartmouth, was fatally stabbed early Saturday in Providence after an altercation that began near a nightclub and spilled into a Wendy’s parking lot. A teammate was also stabbed. A 19-year-old fellow UMass Dartmouth student has been charged with murder.
Antoine died at Rhode Island Hospital from stab wounds to the chest. Police said the violence unfolded around 12:30 a.m. Saturday in the parking lot of the Wendy’s at 391 Charles Street, across from Mezzo Lounge. Officers found two young men with stab wounds. Kensley Macean, 19, a freshman defensive back on the same Corsairs team, was taken to the same hospital with injuries to the head, neck, and left arm that police described as non-life-threatening.
Both players had been at Mezzo Lounge with other teammates hours after UMass Dartmouth’s Friday night game. Police said the lounge became overcrowded and stopped letting people in. An altercation that started in or near the line moved across the street. Investigators have said they have not sure if Antoine and Macean were at the center of the first dispute, and Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez said there was no indication the suspect and the victims knew each other beforehand.
Police identified the suspect as Chukuwnonso Uzoma-eze, 19, a UMass Dartmouth student who is not on the football team. Witness interviews, surveillance video, and license-plate readers helped track him after he left the scene.

![Happy Dessalines Day. 🇭🇹
Today, September 20, Haiti honors the birth of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the man who finished the Haitian Revolution, declared independence, and made Haiti the first free Black republic in the modern world.
Born around 1758 on a sugar plantation near Grande-Rivière-du-Nord, he entered the world as Jean-Jacques Duclos, an enslaved child. Later purchased by a free man of color, he took the name Dessalines. By the time the great uprising of 1791 began, he had already lived the brutality of the plantation system that made Saint-Domingue the richest and most violent colony in the Caribbean.
He rose fast. As Toussaint Louverture’s lieutenant he proved a fierce, uncompromising commander. After the French captured Louverture in 1802 and Napoleon moved to restore slavery, Dessalines took the lead. The decisive moment came at the Battle of Vertières on November 18, 1803. French forces withdrew. On January 1, 1804, in Gonaïves, Dessalines proclaimed independence and restored the island’s Indigenous name: Haiti.
He became Governor-General for Life, then Emperor Jacques I. The 1805 constitution declared that Haitians would be known simply as “Blacks,” a political and racial statement of unity after centuries of colonial ranking. He ordered the remaining French killed, a massacre that remains one of the most contested acts of his rule.
He was assassinated on October 17, 1806, near Pont-Rouge. For generations Haiti marked that date as Dessalines Day. In 2020, President Jovenel Moïse added September 20 his birthday as a second official holiday, Jour de Dessalines. Haitians now honor him twice in the space of a month: once for the life that began in bondage, once for the death that ended an empire.
Dessalines was both liberator and autocrat. He ended slavery on the island permanently and showed the world that an enslaved population could defeat a European army and found a state. The flag itself blue and red, the white stripe of France torn out is tied to his era and to Catherine Flon, who sewed the first version.

A 19-year-old University of Massachusetts Dartmouth student pleaded not guilty Monday to a fugitive from justice charge in the fatal stabbing of Corsairs freshman running back Marvins Antoine.
Chukwunonso Uzoma-Eze appeared in New Bedford District Court on Sept. 21, where he waived extradition and was ordered held without bail. He is expected to be transferred to Rhode Island within a week to face a murder charge in Antoine’s death, along with a planned felony assault charge in the wounding of another teammate.
Antoine, 18, a Boston native and Durfee High School graduate, was stabbed in the chest shortly after midnight Saturday, Sept. 19, in a Wendy’s parking lot on Charles Street in Providence. He was pronounced dead at Rhode Island Hospital. Teammate Kensley Macean, 19, a freshman defensive back from Dighton, suffered non-life-threatening wounds to the head, neck, and left arm.
Providence police said the violence followed an altercation outside Mezzo Lounge, where Antoine, Macean, and other UMass Dartmouth football players had gone after Friday night’s home game against Framingham State. Officers said the club had reached capacity. A dispute involving a woman leaving the venue spilled across the street into the restaurant parking lot. Police have said there is no indication Uzoma-Eze knew Antoine or Macean before the encounter and that he is not a member of the football team.
He was arrested Saturday by UMass Dartmouth police. Defense attorney Jay Odunukwe described his client as a bright student with no criminal record who “goes to church with his family regularly,” adding that “the evidence will show eventually that he was basically minding his business.”
Antoine had just begun his first season at UMass Dartmouth. Listed at 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds, the former Durfee running back had not yet appeared in a collegiate game. Last year he earned All-Scholastic recognition and was nominated for the Otto Graham Award, given to a top senior among South Coast high schools. Friends and former teammates remembered him as a leader who looked out for younger players.

A U.S. military aircraft left Port-au-Prince on Sunday, September 20, carrying 18 men accused in the July 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse. The group includes 17 former Colombian soldiers and Joseph Félix Badio, a former Haitian Justice Ministry official long identified by Haitian investigators as a central figure in the plot. They arrived in Miami to face federal charges in the Southern District of Florida.
U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones confirmed the transfer, writing that 18 defendants were “transported in military plane from Haiti to face American justice.” He said 30 people have now been indicted in the case and that prosecutors are “not finished.” Haiti’s Justice Minister Patrick Pelissier confirmed the handover, saying the plane carried the 17 Colombians and Badio, whom Haitian authorities have described as the plot’s “orchestra leader.”
The men boarded the gray military aircraft at Toussaint Louverture International Airport shortly before 11 a.m., dressed in light blue jumpsuits. They appeared in a Miami federal courtroom on Monday. Badio, 63, was brought in by wheelchair. The others arrived shackled. They face charges including conspiracy to kill or kidnap a person outside the United States and providing material support resulting in death. Those offenses carry potential life sentences.
Moïse, 53, was shot dead in his bedroom at his private residence in Pétion-Ville on the night of July 6–7, 2021. His wife, Martine Moïse, was wounded but survived. The attack, carried out by a commando of mostly Colombian former soldiers, created a political vacuum that has fueled years of gang violence and displacement. U.S. prosecutors have long argued the plot was planned and financed in part from South Florida.
Several people have already been convicted in Miami. In May 2026, a federal jury found four men guilty of conspiring to kill or kidnap Moïse and providing material support for the plot. Others have pleaded guilty. The new transfers come days before the scheduled trial of Christian Emmanuel Sanon, a South Florida resident accused of seeking to replace Moïse as president.

Florida health officials have confirmed the state’s first dengue-related death of 2026 as locally acquired infections continue to rise.
The woman was identified by her family as Gay Small, a Tampa resident who died on September 4, her 80th birthday. Her death certificate listed dengue infection, septic shock and multiple-organ failure. The Florida Department of Health confirmed the dengue-related death on September 18 but did not publicly identify her.
The outbreak has been especially severe in Hillsborough County. Florida reported 152 locally acquired dengue cases through September 12, including 134 in Hillsborough County. “Locally acquired” means the infection was contracted in Florida rather than during travel abroad.
Dengue spreads through infected mosquitoes. Health officials are urging residents to use insect repellent, empty containers holding standing water and take precautions against mosquito bites.

Thinking about using a fake pay stub to qualify for an apartment in Florida? A new law could turn that decision into a felony charge.
Starting October 1, 2026, Florida law will make it a third-degree felony to knowingly use forged or counterfeit documents, including pay stubs and bank statements, to obtain a residential rental and take possession of the property. The law also covers certain false identity statements and impersonating someone else on a rental application.
That distinction matters: simply having a rental application denied is not the offense described in this law. The law specifically addresses people who use the listed forms of fraud to get into a rental property.
The measure was signed into law in June and takes effect next month. For renters trying to meet income requirements, it is a reminder that submitting fake documents can carry consequences far beyond losing out on an apartment.

Five years after the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse, 18 suspects have been transferred from Haiti to South Florida to face federal charges in connection with his killing.
The group was flown to the United States on Sunday, September 20, aboard a military aircraft. Among those transferred were 17 Colombian nationals and Joseph Félix Badio, a former Haitian Justice Ministry official identified as a key suspect in the investigation.
Moïse was shot and killed at his home on July 7, 2021. U.S. prosecutors say 30 people have now been indicted in connection with the assassination. Four men were convicted in a Miami federal court in May, and the investigation is continuing.
The latest transfer moves another part of the case into U.S. courts after years of delays in Haiti. The 18 defendants have not been convicted in these proceedings, and their cases will now move through the federal court system in South Florida.

Haitian artist claimed two of the night’s most meaningful moments at the 2026 @caribmusicawards as rising dancehall star Ayetian (@1gyalevryday) took home Best New Artist after entering the night with seven nominations, and konpa legend @AlanCavé received the Elite Konpa Honor.
The fourth annual ceremony, held Saturday, September 19 at the National Academy for the Performing Arts, marked the awards’ first staging in the Caribbean after three years in Brooklyn. The dual spotlight on Ayetian and Cavé highlights both the new generation carrying Haitian sound onto global stages and the genre’s foundational voices.
Haitian-Jamaican artist Ayetian, entered the night as one of only a handful of acts with seven nominations, matching Machel Montano and V’ghn and trailing only Lady Lava’s nine. He did not sweep every category, but he left Trinidad with hardware: Best New Artist.
The win is a breakthrough for a 21-year-old whose hits “1 Gyal Every Day,” “Tip,” “Balance,” and “Wah Yo Deh Pon,” plus his recent project JamPack, have pushed a Haitian-Jamaican hybrid sound into the dancehall conversation. His nominations included Dancehall Best New Artist, Dancehall Impact Award, and collaborations such as “Wah Yo Deh Pon” with Govana and “Tip (Remix)” with Skillibeng.
For Haitian audiences, the moment was bigger than one trophy. A young artist raised in a Haitian household, now moving through Jamaica’s dancehall lane, walked into the region’s biggest music awards with seven nominations and walked out a winner.
Alan Cavé, the unmistakable voice of Zin and one of konpa’s defining solo artists, was named the 2026 Elite Konpa Honoree. Organizers cited his decades of work shaping the genre, from Zin-era classics to a solo catalog that has soundtracked generations of Haitian and diaspora listeners.
The honor arrives as the awards introduce a new Konpa Song of the Year category, placing Cavé’s recognition at a moment when the genre is being given fuller institutional space. His music including enduring records like “Se pa pou dat” has long carried Haitian culture beyond Haiti’s borders.

Marvins Antoine, an 18-year-old Haitian-American freshman running back at UMass Dartmouth, was fatally stabbed early Saturday in Providence after an altercation that began near a nightclub and spilled into a Wendy’s parking lot. A teammate was also stabbed. A 19-year-old fellow UMass Dartmouth student has been charged with murder.
Antoine died at Rhode Island Hospital from stab wounds to the chest. Police said the violence unfolded around 12:30 a.m. Saturday in the parking lot of the Wendy’s at 391 Charles Street, across from Mezzo Lounge. Officers found two young men with stab wounds. Kensley Macean, 19, a freshman defensive back on the same Corsairs team, was taken to the same hospital with injuries to the head, neck, and left arm that police described as non-life-threatening.

Investigators have said they have not sure if Antoine and Macean were at the center of the first dispute, and Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez said there was no indication the suspect and the victims knew each other beforehand.
Police identified the suspect as Chukuwnonso Uzoma-eze, 19, a UMass Dartmouth student who is not on the football team. Witness interviews, surveillance video, and license-plate readers helped track him after he left the scene. He was taken into custody by UMass Dartmouth police on campus and later held by Massachusetts State Police. Providence police said a murder warrant is active in Rhode Island and that he is expected to be extradited. Murder is currently the sole charge announced.
Antoine was a 5-foot-10, 180-pound running back listed from Boston who starred at B.M.C. Durfee High School in Fall River after earlier time at Atlantis Charter. He had only recently begun college and had not appeared in a Corsairs game this season.

Happy Dessalines Day. 🇭🇹
Today, September 20, Haiti honors the birth of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the man who finished the Haitian Revolution, declared independence, and made Haiti the first free Black republic in the modern world.
Born around 1758 on a sugar plantation near Grande-Rivière-du-Nord, he entered the world as Jean-Jacques Duclos, an enslaved child. Later purchased by a free man of color, he took the name Dessalines. By the time the great uprising of 1791 began, he had already lived the brutality of the plantation system that made Saint-Domingue the richest and most violent colony in the Caribbean.
He rose fast. As Toussaint Louverture’s lieutenant he proved a fierce, uncompromising commander. After the French captured Louverture in 1802 and Napoleon moved to restore slavery, Dessalines took the lead. The decisive moment came at the Battle of Vertières on November 18, 1803. French forces withdrew. On January 1, 1804, in Gonaïves, Dessalines proclaimed independence and restored the island’s Indigenous name: Haiti.
He became Governor-General for Life, then Emperor Jacques I. The 1805 constitution declared that Haitians would be known simply as “Blacks,” a political and racial statement of unity after centuries of colonial ranking. He ordered the remaining French killed, a massacre that remains one of the most contested acts of his rule.

In 2020, President Jovenel Moïse added September 20 his birthday as a second official holiday, Jour de Dessalines. Haitians now honor him twice in the space of a month: once for the life that began in bondage, once for the death that ended an empire.
Dessalines was both liberator and autocrat. He ended slavery on the island permanently and showed the world that an enslaved population could defeat a European army and found a state. The flag itself blue and red, the white stripe of France torn out is tied to his era and to Catherine Flon, who sewed the first version.
