NEW HAVEN — New Haven Police say a recent graduate of Yale stabbed another student before jumping to his own death at the Taft Apartments on College Street near campus at around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The suspect, Tyler Carlisle, stabbed 21-year-old Alexander Michaud before jumping nine stories to his death.

Police say the suspect fell six stories onto a third-floor terrace. Carlisle was pronounced dead. The victim is in stable condition.

It’s unclear what led up to the incident. Yale released the following statement:

‘The New Haven Police Department has informed the University that Tyler Carlisle, who graduated from Yale College this year, died earlier today after falling from an apartment building window, and Alexander Michaud, a member of the Yale College Class of 2017, sustained stab wounds in the same apartment, and has been hospitalized.

The University extends its deepest sympathy to the families and friends of these two members of the Yale community, and joins everyone in hoping for Alexander’s full recovery.

Yale’s mental health counselors and staff of the Chaplain’s Office are available to provide support to anyone from Yale on campus or in New Haven who is affected by this tragedy.

The New Haven Police Department is investigating and Yale remains in contact with the department to provide any cooperation needed.”
