One man was left dead, after being beaten in the campus' residence hallway, by a California State University Sacramento student, by the name of Quran Jones. The unnamed 23-year-old's death was confirmed by Alexander Gonzalez, the University's President. It's said that Quran used a bat as a weapon against his victim.
Now, the crime scene at California State University Sacramento is under investigation. Quran Jones has been charged, but currently, the severity of those charges are unknown. Police are questioning the murder, and have released this statement: "We don’t know the motivation for this crime right now."
I might add that many other sites are reporting many different stories. Makli reports that Quran Jones is a 19-year-old student, and he was "shot by police officer after he attacked them with a knife." However, this same site did state that the victim's name has not yet been released.
KCRA states that the victim was found in a dorm. He then died of injuries. They also make note that the condition of the alleged attacker is currently unknown. However, KCRA did state, "Campus police said they shot knife-wielding Jones after he charged at them inside the dormitory," matching the story from Makli.
This is another horrible ordeal; Things like this seem to be happening more and more everyday, and although I do not like talking about them, I think that it's important to raise awareness for violent acts like the one that took place at Cal State University Sacramento.
Remember, attacks take place at any time. They can be completely random, or they can be planned. And in this day and age, it doesn't matter if you're a 6th grader, out of high school, or 60-years-old, you still have to pay attention, and always be ready for something crazy, if it does in fact happen.
I'm curious about this crime, because I want to know WHY. It's very sad, indeed. But why did Quran Jones attack this California State University Sacramento student? Was he defending himself? Did he jump the guy? Was it a set-up battle?
I'd expect California State University Sacramento's security to be heightened after a crime like this. Hopefully, the mystery is solved. Maybe security cameras and video evidence may help this one. But I am not sure. But, at the sake of the victim, please let this crime be solved, and if Quran Jones is guilty, bring him to justice.
For those of you who lost your friend or loved one in this incident, I am truly sorry for your loss. May you grow strong together during these tough times.
