STABBING SUSPECT ARRESTED
Ithaca man charged two months after Nazaire murder By PHOEBE KELLER Sun Managing Editor
Ithaca resident Nagee Green has been arrested and charged with the second-degree murder of Ithaca College student, Anthony Nazaire, the Ithaca Police Department announced at a press conference Monday night. Nazaire was fatally stabbed in a large fight outside Olin Hall on Aug. 28, after leaving a party held by Omega Psi Phi in Willard Straight Hall. Green was also charged with seconddegree assault of a second victim who was also stabbed on the scene, but has recovered. The name of the second victim was not released. Green pled not guilty to all charges. Police said it does not appear that Green knew either of the two victims and confirmed that he was not enrolled at any local university. Green, 23, was detained while boarding a transit bus in
Freeville, N.Y., where he also sometimes resides, at 1:30 p.m. today. The case is expected to proceed to a grand jury on Nov. 10, and no evidence will be presented until that date, the acting District Attorney Andrew Bonavia said. When asked why it took the Ithaca police over two months to publicly charge a suspect, officers said they spent the time sifting through “hundreds” of leads, reiterating their belief that no time is too long to deliver justice to the community. “This isn’t like TV where you can watch an episode and you see the crime and the conclusion all within a one hour period,” he said. “It takes time to gather the evidence and put together a good solid case that you can bring to court. So that’s what we’ve done here.” When Chief John Barber was asked why a murder witnessed by hundreds required such a See ARREST page 4

Victim’s family demands life sentence for suspect By JOSEPHINE CHU Sun News Editor
Reacting to the Ithaca Police Department’s Monday arrest of Nagee Green for the murder of Anthony Nazaire, the victim’s family said they are “not satisfied” with the charges levied against the alleged murderer. Nazaire’s mother, Katie Toussaint, said that, while the family is grateful to the IPD for arresting Green, they feel the suspect deserves to serve a life sentence. The victim’s sister, Kiara Nazaire, called Green “an animal” that “needs to be caged
up like an animal.” “[Green] is not an innocent person,” Nazaire said. “I feel like it was something that he had in his heart to just do. He is a murderer.” The Nazaire family plans to “go public” and speak to many different news organizations, Kiara Nazaire said. She added that the whole family will be present through all court proceedings. “We are going to be there,” she said. “The whole family will be there. There’s going to be a lot See NAZAIRE FAMILY page 4
