At 1:55 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 13, the University Chapel bells played the first verse of “Amazing Grace” before ringing the three final chimes, honoring the lives of Lavel Davis Jr., D’Sean Perry and Devin Chandler who were killed during the University shooting three years ago. Immediately after the bell toll, attendees began a memorial march from the Chapel to the memorial tree at the Betsy and John Casteen Arts Grounds, near where the tragic shooting took place three years ago, for a remembrance ceremony.

A silent vigil, organized by the Class of 2026, was held on the South Lawn to honor the lives of Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler, and D’Sean Perry who were killed in the University shooting Nov. 13, 2022. Students and community members came together to write notes on a banner, share apple cider and hot chocolate, and leave candles on the steps of Old Cabell Hall. The Class of 2026 will be the last undergraduate class to have been students at the time of the tragedy.
