"Police Identify Suspect in UGA Nursing Student's Killing as Crime of Opportunity"

The suspect in the killing of Augusta University student Laken Hope Riley on the University of Georgia campus did not know the victim and is not a student at the campus, according to authorities. Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, of Athens, is being recommended for charges including felony murder, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and concealing the death of another in Riley’s killing. The evidence suggests the killing was a solo act, and police have executed a search warrant at Ibarra’s apartment as they continue to collect evidence. The University of Georgia is now grieving two tragic deaths less than a day apart, with classes canceled and the campus community in mourning.
