Person Who Murdered Two on Grambling State Campus Still Hasn't Been Found
Two men were fatally shot on the campus of Grambling State University in Louisiana early Wednesday morning and the shooter has yet to be found.
“Grambling State University Director of University Communications Will Sutton said the victims were Earl Andrews, a senior at GSU, and Monquiarious Caldwell, who was not a student. Both men were 23 years old and from Farmerville, Louisiana,” according to a report from ABC News.
The Washington Post reports that the murders have “shaken the campus, a small community of 5,188 mostly black students, where the loss of a student is ‘truly a loss of a member of a family,’ said Richard J. Gallot Jr., the university’s president. The shooting occurred during Homecoming Week, when the school, in the city of Grambling, sees a spike in visitors.”
Police do not believe the shooter was a student at the school. They also think there was an altercation in a dorm room that led to the shooting, which took place outside in a school courtyard.
The university will move forward with academic and event schedules as planned this week, including all homecoming events, according to the school’s president.
