ICE Seeks Detainer Against Suspect in Deadly Providence Stabbing
DHS says the suspect entered on a tourist visa and overstayed before receiving deferred action, with one teammate killed and another injured.
- UMass Dartmouth Police arrested Chukwunonso Uzoma David Uzoma Eze on September 19 for allegedly stabbing two football players, Marvins Antoine and Kensley Macean, in a Providence parking lot; Antoine died from chest wounds.
- Eze, a Nigerian national, overstayed his tourist visa but received "deferred action" from both the Biden and Trump administrations, which shielded him from deportation, federal sources reported.
- The Department of Homeland Security approved Eze's deferred action request on October 8, 2025, set to expire October 7, 2027; USCIS describes the status as "an extraordinary form of relief."
- Governor Maura Healey avoided questions Friday about Eze's immigration status after recently criticizing ICE for enforcement actions in Massachusetts, calling such operations "another example of destruction."
- If convicted of murder, Eze will forfeit his deferred action status, according to the Department of Homeland Security, while the Providence Police Department continues investigating the incident.
