“Please understand that the safety of our campus is of the utmost importance and our resolve in ensuring that we have a secure campus is paramount. In response to last evening’s events, we are aggressively increasing security measures on campus, further amplifying additional security measures that have been implemented in recent years.”
Investigators have also released video footage of a group of people walking alongside a grassy area of the University on the night of the ordeal who they believe are suspects.
“Surveillance video can be valuable because there could be somebody close to one of these suspects that recognizes a mannerism. The mannerisms are sometimes more important than the clothes cause you can’t help the way you walk,” Smith said.
Officials advise anyone with information surrounding this tragedy to contact the police at 410-396-2444 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 866-7LOCKUP.
