A former Key West High School track and basketball star was stabbed to death during an early Saturday morning altercation in the heart of Key West's tourist section, according to the Key West Police Department.

Marques Butler, 23, was stabbed in the abdomen during an apparent fight between a group of locals from Key West and a group of men from out of town. Butler was taken to the Lower Keys Medical Center, where he underwent surgery and died soon after.

Key West detectives are investigation the case as a homicide. On Saturday, detectives questioned a 23-year-old man from Fort Lauderdale. As of Sunday morning, no arrests had been made in the case.

The altercation took place in the vicinity of Caroline and Duval streets during Fantasy Fest, Key West's annual 10-day debauchery that draws crowds of 50,000 or more annually. Thiswas the first death to occur during the festival's 30-year history.

either that or you are getting too old to raise hell anymore! :sifone:


Actually a friend of mine was down there about 5-6 years ago and some psycho was slashing people randomly with a razor blade. She thought it was just a scratch from a costume/passerby but when she looked down it was bleeding. She was treated with bandages, no stitches or anything but turns out the guy got a dozen people that reported similar incidents, no arrests made.

The cut was nothing, she was more concerned about infectious diseases....

I've been going to the Keys since the early 70's. Fantasy fest is just for a bunch of perverts now days. It used to be a place to just cut loose and go generaly berzerk.
