On this day, Jan. 31, in 2000, following a Super Bowl XXXIV party in Atlanta, two people were fatally stabbed in a fight between Pro Bowl linebacker Ray Lewis and his companions and another group of people.
Lewis, then 24, was one of three men charged with murder in the deaths of Jacinth Baker, 21, and Richard Lollar, 24. The charge against Lewis was dropped during the trial, with Lewis pleading guilty to misdemeanor obstruction of justice and testified against his co-defendants. But the other men were acquitted.
