TOMS RIVER — A graduation party on Friday night devolved into a brawl and left one Monmouth County man dead, police said.
The death is considered suspicious, said police Chief Michael J. Mastronardy. Crime scene investigators were at a house here late Saturday afternoon.
Milton Love, a 33-year-old man from Howell, and his wife attended a graduation party that started about 9 p.m. Friday night at a Romana Lane home, police said. Love's wife was not identified.
At about 1 a.m. Saturday, police believe, there was a fight outside the West Dover section home involving four men and two women. During the course of the fight, Love apparently was struck once in the head, fell backward and hit his head on the ground, Mastronardy said in a prepared statement. The six guests involved in the fight fled the scene before police arrived, Mastronardy said.
Love was taken to Community Medical Center in Toms River, where he later was pronounced dead, Mastronardy said.
