On October 13, 2021, 19-year-old Damarius Murphy of Rayville, Louisiana, was shot and killed on the campus of Grambling State University. A 16-year-old from Rayville was also wounded in the same incident. The shooting came during the university’s homecoming week and was one of two fatal incidents on campus within a four-day span; remaining homecoming events were canceled and a campus-wide curfew was put in place.

Investigators developed a person of interest quickly. Two days after the shooting authorities identified 18-year-old Jatavious Rabbit Carroll of Delhi, Louisiana, as a suspect. Carroll was arrested on December 28, 2021, after a five-hour standoff at a residence in Delhi and was charged with second-degree murder in Murphy’s death, attempted second-degree murder for the injured teen, and possession of a firearm on school property.

If anyone knew Damarius Murphy, the injured teenager, or has information about the shooting, please share what can help the ongoing case.
