CCRI hoop star stabbed

WEST WARWICK -- The star forward on the Community College of Rhode Island’s basketball team was stabbed in the abdomen during a house party in West Warwick yesterday morning, the police said.

Marvin Owens, 19, a sophomore who led the NJCAA Division II in scoring last season, sustained only superficial wounds, the police said. He was listed in good condition at Rhode Island Hospital at noon today.

The police went to a home at 5-7 Sisson Street at about 12:30 Sunday morning, after neighbors complained about a large party there, said police Sgt. Richard M. Ascoli. The party involved the mens’ and women’s CCRI basketball teams, and was breaking up when the police arrived, Ascoli said.

Inside, they found Owens suffering from the stab wounds. The police have no suspects and have not been able to get a clear picture of what happened, Ascoli said.
