Some Texas Southern University students remained on edge Monday after gunfire near the campus left a young man dead.
“It’s too close and it keeps happening,” said criminal justice major William Proctor. “We try to build the neighborhood up and stuff like this rips it back down.”
The suspected drive-by shooting took place early Sunday morning near the intersection of Rosedale and Tierwester. Police said one man died from his injuries. Another man was rushed to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Last weekend’s violence follows other recent shootings near campus, including the gunfire at an off-campus party last April that claimed the life of a TSU student. In July of 2009, another off-campus event also erupted in gunfire.
“We know stuff like this happens in the area,” said freshman international student Imtaaz Hassan. “It does concern me.”
