Two others also were charged in the fight that led to the stabbing death of 20-year-old Jasper Howard, of Miami.
Police say 21-year-old John William Lomax III is charged with murder and conspiracy to commit assault.
Police say they also charged 20-year-old Hakim Muhammad, of Bloomfield, with conspiracy to commit assault, and 21-year-old Jamal Todd with pulling a fire alarm that emptied the Oct. 18 dance, triggering the fight.
Lomax's attorney says his client wasn't present when the argument started, but tried to break up the fight.
