Police have identified persons of interest and expect to file charges soon following the Saturday morning stabbing death of a University of Windsor student, one of six men stabbed during a “horrifying” block-long downtown knife fight.
Rebecca Wright reports in the Windsor Star that Gautham (Kevin) Kugathasan, 19, was pronounced dead at hospital after being transported from the scene, said Windsor police Staff Sgt. Todd LaMarre.
LaMarre said the melee happened between two groups of males at about 2 a.m. on Pelissier Street near University Avenue and the confrontation continued over a one-block span. He said police and EMS paramedics attended the scene within seconds.
“EMS were able to locate the young man (Kugathasan) and provide really quick care for him,” said LaMarre. “He was conscious on the way to the hospital and was pronounced at the hospital by hospital staff shortly after.”
