Bowie State To Hold Candlelight Vigil For Student Stabbed At UMD
BALTIMORE (WJZ) - A campus will come together to honor the life of a student taken too soon.
Bowie State University announced Monday that they will hold a candlelight vigil for 23-year-old Richard Collins III. Collins was stabbed to death early Saturday morning on the campus of the University of Maryland.
Collins had just been commissioned into the army as a lieutenant and was due to graduate from Bowie State on Tuesday.
Police have arrested 22-year-old Sean Christopher Urbanski in connection to the stabbing. FBI officials are investigating whether the murder is also considered a hate crime after finding Urbanski was a member of a white supremacist group on Facebook.
