Texas Tech students mourning the loss of three of their own in the last nine days just as the spring semester started.
“It’s weird because I don’t know them personally, but it’s weird to think that it’s over for them,” student Bri Clarkson said.
Friday morning, Police investigated the death of 22-year-old Tech student Kacey Callaway.
Police said Callaway was found dead on the floor of his apartment at the U-Lofts Apartment complex on 10th and University.
Police said they don’t suspect foul play at this time.
“Right now, we don’t believe it’s a homicide,” Lubbock Police Lt. Ray Mendoza said. “We are investigating it as a death investigation.”
On Tuesday, 25-year-old Braden Joplin was killed in a car accident while on the campaign trail in Iowa for presidential candidate Ben Carson.
“I feel so bad for their families because you send them out to do this really great thing to help their career and help the country and it doesn’t work out the way you want it to and that’s just heartbreaking,” Clark said.
Then on January 14, 20-year-old tech student Zachary Kafer was murdered outside of Mesquite’s on Broadway.
The suspect was arrested that same night.
“We just have to stick together through it all and pray that it doesn’t happen to anyone else,” Tech student Adel Razzaq said.
