Stop The Violence: College Football Player, Kendall Berry, Stabbed To Death On Miami Campus

This is just so sad. Florida International University running back, Kendall Berry, was killed on Thursday on the FIU campus. He was only 22.

Details on this tragic tale under the hood.

FIU running back Kendall Berry was stabbed to death in an incident on the school’s main Miami campus late Thursday night, immediately sending shock and grief across the university community and putting police on a search for multiple suspects.

The 22-year-old college football player was stabbed around 9 p.m., said Miami-Dade police Det. Javier Baez. Police were interviewing “several people that observed the incident,” Baez said, though he could not confirm if any suspect was in custody.

Baez said the stabbing took place just outside the front doors of the campus recreation center, where he said the football team and other FIU athletes train.

According to officials, Berry was involved in an argument with one or more people.

“One produced some type of a weapon and stabbed him,” Baez said.

News cameras captured several students, including some identified as FIU athletes, hugging and crying later Thursday night near the spot where the stabbing took place. One student dropped to her knees in grief just inside the doorway, screaming.

Berry, from Haines City, Fla., appeared in all 12 FIU games as a freshman in 2007. He sat out the 2008 season with a knee injury and then had some breakout moments in 2009, rushing for three touchdowns in a span of 13 minutes against Middle Tennessee on Nov. 7 and following that up with two more scores the following week in a win over North Texas.

Berry finished last season with a team-best seven touchdowns, despite not playing in the season’s first seven games because of continued recovery from the knee injury.

“When you put the football in his hands, that kid can do some unbelievable things,” football coach Mario Cristobal said late last season of Berry.

Shortly after the university confirmed Berry’s death, FIU indefinitely postponed football coaching clinics scheduled for Friday and Saturday.

Our condolences to the Berry family. R.I.P.

    Member when Gramma told you not to argue with people…We might want to heed those words.
    You can disagree with a person and not say a word. Arguements are another monster; people get emotional and anger takes over. Add a weapon and it goes to another level.
    I stay with my Glock 19 (Legally) and I mind my business. But if confronted I will shoot to kill.
    Sad the young man had to die like that but member the words of the elders.

    Wow….c’mon, my people. When are we going to stop the violence?

  • happybdaytome

    Please stop this foolishness NOW.

  • Mock Rock Star

    My condolences

  • WILL THIS GENOCIDE AMONG BLACK PEOPLE EVER STOP??

    This happens everyday somewhere in America & this is really sad. We(Black People) have got to stop this violence among each other. We are killing generations & generations to come when we kill each other. I am fed up with this & something needs to be done. We have to save ourselves people. Wake up & STOP THE MADNESS before there is no one old black man left in America because they will have all died at a young age over nonsense. Check out The First 48. It’s an epidemic. God help us ALL.

    I hope the police catch the killers or whoever knows who did it come forward turn them in!

  • Gimmeabreak78

    When is enough enough? I can’t stand thugs of any kind–e-thugs, wannabe thugs, etc.

    Although the article didn’t mention the race of the attacker, it will break my heart to find out one brother did this to another.

  • ssquared

    Yall, I hate to say this but these little b-a-s-t-a-r-d-s need to be hung up and killed. This is just too much. We (black people) don’t fear the system anymore. And it’s not just us anymore. It the little mexican kids, the white kids. It’s all of us. But dang this is what the white people said we did and I will be damned if that is not what we are doing. We don’t need no vigilante killings or anything like that. These little hoodulums are bad as hell. What the hell is this world gonna be like with the next generation. People are living longer now. But I don’t want to see this mess. I fear for my grandchildren that haven’t even been concieived yet. This mess is crazy. It hard to maintain a christian life without wishing death to these little monsters. God please forgive me for my thinking.

    I’m telling you people, he’s had some hard knocks in life.

    He was REALLY A GOOD KID!!!

  • c1taylor

    So sad!

  • Please

    The problem here is most kids these days dont even understand how to work out their differences. Almost always…instead of someone seeing the voice of reason. It always excalates to violence. It isnt until someone dies that the voice of reason is heard. When they catch the killer here, first thing out of his mouth will be. That he’s sorry….too late to think now. You shoulda thought before and during the argument.

    Instead of teaching our youth how to pop their a@@es, dance to Soulja Boy and Beyonce. We really need to be teaching the youth how to deal with themselves, communicate and navigate effectively thru society.
