… in the Harvard murder case. Why was a non-student inside a dorm? Was he a drug dealer, and did a Harvard client buzz him in?
A man’s been arrested for his murder — also a non-student, also inside the dorm.
Cosby was shot inside the J-entry way of Kirkland House around 5 p.m. After being shot he ran up Dunster street to Mt. Auburn street where he collapsed. He died Tuesday morning in Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Copney [the man charged with the murder] is not a Harvard University student, but investigators were probing whether Cosby was selling marijuana to Harvard students as they sought his killer. Copney [who lives not in Cambridge, but in New York] is charged with murder, accessory after the fact to murder, and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Prosecutors said in [a] statement that they learned Copney “was visiting friends at the campus. It is alleged that the defendant, along with others, confronted Cosby in a common area inside the Kirkland House. During the course of the confrontation, multiple shots were fired. One of those shots struck Cosby, resulting in his death. It is believed that the defendant and Cosby were known to one another.”
So two non-students happen to be inside the same dorm at the same time. They happen to know each other. One, “along with others,” confronts Cosby and then shoots him. Who the hell are the others? And how likely is it that two non-students who happen to know each other will be in a dorm at the same time, one of them with a gun on him?

I think you might be surprised at how common this is…it just so rarely ends in death…usually just a[n unreported] drunken brawl.

Could be.
