UVA to Release Delayed Report on 2022 Campus Triple Homicide
The attack claimed the lives of three UVA football players — Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D’Sean Perry — while two others, teammate Mike Hollins and second-year student Marlee Morgan, were wounded but survived.
After months of postponements, the University of Virginia announced Wednesday that it will release findings from an external review of the deadly 2022 campus shooting by mid-March. The decision follows a prosecutor’s withdrawal of concerns that the report could impact the ongoing criminal case. The report examines the events surrounding the Nov. 13, 2022, attack that left three UVA students dead and two others injured.
Initially set for release in November 2023, and then pushed to February 2024, the findings were withheld as legal proceedings moved forward against Christopher Jones Jr., who has since pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder, two counts of malicious wounding, and five firearms charges. His sentencing has been delayed until later this year.
Megan Rhyne, executive director of the Virginia Coalition for Open Government, criticized the delays, arguing that attorney-client privilege and student record protections did not apply to the entire report. READ ENTIRE
