Police Arrest Man in Killing of Nursing Student at University of Georgia

On Friday, a 26-year-old man named Jose Antonio Ibarra was apprehended in connection with the homicide of a nursing student discovered on the University of Georgia campus.

Police confirmed that the suspect did not know the victim, acted alone, and assured the university community that there was no ongoing threat.

The victim, identified as 22-year-old Laken Hope Riley, a student at Augusta University College of Nursing, was found near running trails on Thursday, prompting an extensive police investigation focused on an apartment complex south of the discovery site.

Video footage from campus security and other technological leads pointed authorities to Ibarra, an Athens resident residing in one of the apartments, as announced by University of Georgia Police Chief Jeff Clark in a news conference on Friday evening.

Clark emphasized that the evidence collected in the case is substantial, indicating a “solo act” by Ibarra.

The investigation further indicates no prior relationship between the suspect and the victim, U.S. News reported.
