Just after 3:00 pm on March 21, 2024, a shooting at the University and 65th SacRT light rail station took place, leaving one dead and two injured. The shooters fled from the scene and the victims were taken to a hospital.
The two suspects are unknown at this time and police continue their investigation. Witnesses state that the shooters seemed to be adult African American males in hoodies and jeans. The two men are thought to have stolen a car from the gym parking lot across the street from the station.
Police say that the car was left down the street from the crime scene on University Avenue. At this time we only know the status of one of the victims, a woman, who is in stable condition.
The police believe that the men could still be armed and dangerous and that people in the area stay aware and safe.
If you or a friend were witnesses to this shooting and need help processing it, please seek help at the student support center or speak with a counselor. This was a traumatic event for all involved.
Until the suspects are found, stay safe and try to be with another person at all times when in that area.
