- The college identified the perpetrator as a "current student of color" who acted alone and was subsequently suspended1.
- The college specifically communicated to students and staff via email that the perpetrator was a 21-year-old Black male2.
- Although the college identified the student's race, age, and status, they did not publicly release the student's actual name2.
