The captain of the Bloomfield High School football team has been charged with the murder of a 27-year-old man with whom he had allegedly been having a sexual relationship.

Tarence Mitchell, 18, of Bloomfield, is accused of stabbing Ronald Taylor Jr five times in the torso and leaving the knife in his back after trying to break off the two-year relationship.

The incident took place Thursday night in the front yard of Mitchell's home at 24 Hill Farm Road on Thursday night.

According to court documents, the murder weapon was a steak knife.

NBC Connecticut reports that Mitchell armed himself after Taylor arranged a meeting between the two, promising it 'wasn't going to end well'.

Police responded to a call at 9:13 p.m. after receiving reports of two men fighting and found two people suffering from stab wounds.

An ambulance transported Ronald Taylor Jr., 27, of Bloomfield, to Saint Francis Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

According to court documents, Mitchell first lied to police about the stabbing, claiming both he and Taylor were attacked by two men.

He changed his story during an interview with police and admitted to stabbing Taylor five times, according to court documents.

According to the documents, Mitchell - a star football player described as a 'great kid' - told officers that he and Taylor were in a sexual relationship but that he had tried to distance himself from Taylor.

He said that three weeks ago, Taylor had posted a photo of Mitchell on Facebook, calling him 'Bloomfield gay football player'.

Mitchell told police that Taylor took it down but threatened to post the photo again if Mitchell tried to distance himself again.

On his Facebook page, Mitchell is listed as 'interested in women'.

Mitchell told officers that Taylor had threatened him with a sword in the past and would get jealous when he texted girls, according to court documents.

Taylor texted Mitchell on Thursday saying he was coming over and that it 'wasn't going to end well', Mitchell told investigators.

Mitchell told police that he armed himself with a knife and stabbed Taylor after Taylor punched him in the face.

Gen 19: 4. But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:

[5] And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.

[6] And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,

[7] And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.

[8] Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

[9] And they said, Stand back. And they said again , This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.

[10] But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.

[11] And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
