New Jersey Man Fatally Stabbed At HS Basketball Game In Trenton
The incident at the CURE Insurance Arena in Trenton happened around 8:30 p.m. Thursday, according to the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office. Khalil Glanton 23 years old of Trenton, was stabbed numerous times and was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead after a short time.
Trenton Superintendent James Earle said in a statement Friday morning that said Glanton was a Trenton Central High School alumni who graduated in 2019. No other current students were involved in the fight, but everyone involved was cautioned to stay away from the school.
Trenton Mayor Reed Gusciora is requesting an investigation into the crime incident. Some students say they’re now scared to attend big school events. Security at CURE Insurance Arena is private, and metal detectors were in place but still, a knife was not detected. Gusciora, who attended the tournament, says the city should be celebrating, not grieving.
