Police reports paint a picture of a "large, angry" crowd battling cops despite 23-year-old Key Wester Marques Butler lying on the sidewalk being treated for a stab wound that would ultimately take his life.</p><p>Visitation is scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday at Trinity Presbyterian Church on Simonton Street, with a funeral Saturday at 11 a.m. in the Key West High School auditorium.</p><p>Butler, who was taking classes at Florida Keys Community College, was a star athlete for the Conchs, setting a school track record in 2005 as part of four man team in the 4x400 relay in the district 16-2A meet. He also played basketball.</p><p>Family and friends gathered in vigil outside the hospital as doctors attempted to save Butler.</p><p>"He was well liked and loved by many people," said Rev. Ruben Velasco, pastor at United Methodist Church and among the crowd at the hospital.</p><p>"The best I can describe it is there were a lot of young people grieving the loss, crying, praying; people of all races and economic status. People were hurt as a community. His brother Michael was in shock. I do not believe this was part of God's plan, but things happen. [The family] is really going to need for us, for the community, to surround them with love."</p><p>The killing went down near the intersection of Caroline and Simonton streets just after 4 a.m. Saturday, in the aftermath of the annual Fantasy Fest parade.</p><p>Nicholas Ferro, 23, of Hollywood was arrested and charged with second-degree homicide later Saturday.</p><p>Accounts vary, but apparently Butler was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and something went bad. And that's when Butler found himself with a knife in his abdomen.</p><p>Police found Ferro right there.</p><p>"I approached Ferro and asked him to come with me to the scene," reports Lt. Alfredo Vasquez, after he saw Ferro leaving the area in a "swift manner."</p><p>"As I began walking with Ferro," he continues, "a call over the radio advised there was a stabbing in the area.... Ferro then yelled, '[expletive] it' and began to flee from me on foot."</p><p>Peter Gross, a witness to the incident, got in Ferro's path and held him up long enough for Vasquez to catch up and deploy his Taser into the suspect's back.</p><p>While that was taking place, police were having trouble tending to Butler.</p><p>"The crowd ... [was] shouting and pushing the officers, which hindered their ability to help the stabbing victim," reports Officer Eric Biskup.</p><p>Daryl Eugene Lewis Jr., a 23-year-old Conch, was chief among the aggressors, according to Biskup's report, and was ultimately taken down with a Taser and charged with resisting arrest.</p><p>An ambulance transported Butler to Lower Keys Medical Center, where doctors attempted surgery, to no avail.</p><p>Evidence recovered at the stabbing scene includes a silver folding knife, numerous shirts -- one with blood on it -- a purple lighter and advertisement cards for the Lazy Gecko and Rick's bars.</p><p>Butler was identified on the scene by city employee Charnette Valdez, who was instructed by police to contact the victim's mother and have her go to the emergency room on Stock Island.
