Football captain is stabbed to death

HICKORY - A sorority party need in violence when the captain of the Lenoir-Rhyne football team was stabbed to death and two other students hit by a pickup truck during a St. Patrick's Day party.
David Augustus Moose II, 21, of Albemarle, Sunday died after receiving stab wounds to the right and left sides of his neck. He was an accounting major, a straight-A student, and president of the Tau Kappa Epsilon college fraternity. He died about 2 a.m. at Glenn R. Frye Memorial Hospital.
Moose is the son of John David Moose, a Lenoir-Rhyne football captain in the late 1950's. He played in the 1980 Shrine Bowl game and went to the University of North Carolina but transferred to Lenoir-Rhyne.
Dwayne Jonas, 24, of Hickory, was being held without bond in the Catawba County Jail Sunday on first-degree murder charges. Jonas was scheduled for a bond hearing Monday.
Jacqueline Norman, 19, who was with Jonas at the time of the stabbing at the Kappa Delta party at Viewmont Optimist Club just outside Hickory, said Jonas is a construction worker and was not a student at Lenoir-Rhyne.
Norman said a fight broke out after Moose made advances to her. She said Jonas appeared and exchanged words with Moose. "The guy started swinging and punching at Dwayne," Norman said. "The next think I knew a bunch of guys had separated the them."
Barry Kennedy, 22, of Swansboro, said he was in the middle of the dance floor at the party when he saw a woman "dressed in a punk rock" outfit and two men run past him and out the door.
Then I saw Moose. He was pumping blood from the side of the neck," said Kennedy. "There was blood all over the place."
When Norman and Jonas left the club, a group of students circled their truck, apparently trying to stop them official said.
