“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.
