THE ASSOCIATED PRESS


JACKSONVILLE (AP) - Two of five men accused in the beating death of a 23-year-old UF student after a football game have pleaded not guilty.

Alex Canzano and Jeremy Lane, both 21 and of Jacksonville, pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder Friday. Mark Foss, 18, of Jacksonville, was also charged, but he did not attend the arraignment because he was in the hospital, Circuit Judge John H. Skinner said. Skinner did not elaborate, and Foss' attorney refused to comment.

Two other 19-year-old men from Jacksonville are also accused in the death, but were not formally charged Friday.

Police say surveillance video shows Thomas Oliver Brown, 23, was held down by three men and beaten by two others on the night of Oct. 29 after the annual Florida-Georgia game in Jacksonville.

Suspects In Student's Death May Have Been On RampageORLANDO, Fla. --

Five people allegedly involved in the fatal beating death of a University of Florida student may have been on a rampage to beat up college students during the weekend of the attack, according to a Problem Solvers investigation.

An attack on Florida student Tommy Brown, 23, made national news in October after surveillance video showed him being cornered and beaten by five men only a block from where thousands of fans were partying after the Gators beat Georgia at Alltel Stadium.

An investigation showed that before the attack, Brown wandered away from his friends and into the path of five men standing outside of the CSX building near the stadium.

Brown was attacked a short time later.
