A student was killed and another person was injured when gunfire broke out on the campus of Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina Nov. 1.
Sophomore Anthony White Jr., 19, was shot dead in a parking lot between two dormitories around 1:20 a.m. Police have not released any details about the second victim, but it is believed that he or she is also a student.
The school was locked down until about 4:50 a.m. while police searched for the shooter, although the suspect was never located, according to CBS News.
Police said they are searching for Jarrett Jerome Moore, who they labeled a person of interest in the investigation.
The school asked all non-students to leave campus Sunday and the historically black college held a candlelight vigil that night.
The school’s campus police officers “have full law enforcement agency status with powers identical to those of a municipal police agency on all WSSU property and streets running through and adjacent to the University,” according to its website.
Classes resumed on Monday as scheduled.
