BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Police say a Minnesota man who was the lead singer of a band playing a Bloomington party died early Saturday morning after he was stabbed during a fight.

Christopher A. Johnson, 32, of Minneapolis was stabbed in the chest after he got into a fight with Brian P. White, 32, of Warsaw. White faces a preliminary charge of murder.

Witnesses told police the fight started after White grabbed a woman's buttocks and Johnson intervened. He had been performing with his band, Useless Wooden Toys. The men fought and were separated. Johnson then went into the home's backyard, White followed, and the two started arguing again.

Witnesses said Johnson fell to the ground during that argument, and White walked back into the home and left. Officers found him hiding in a cellar.

Christopher Johnson was born and raised in Mishawaka, Indiana. His mother and father, sister, aunts, uncles, cousins and grandmother are all living in Mishawaka. Christopher and his wife were only married one year. He was a wonderful man who loved life and he will be so greatly missed by his family and his hundreds of friends. Final arrangements have not been finalized, but his wife will be in Mishawaka early this week.
