Police charge lacrosse player with homicide of fellow student-athlete

Charlottesville Police charged fourth-year College student George Huguely with first-degree murder yesterday in connection with the death of fourth-year College student Yeardley Love, who passed away early Monday morning.

Both Huguely and Love, members of the men’s and women’s lacrosse teams, respectively, were set to graduate May 23.

Charlottesville police officers were called to apartment 9 in the Camden Courtyard complex on 14th Street at 2:15 a.m. Monday to respond to a case of possible alcohol poisoning.

I can't and don't want to imagine what it is like for her parents. Talk about a parent's worse nightmare. To think only couple weeks from graduating.

Read where this kid has had a history of problems. Don't think they have lacrosse at the State Pen in Jarratt.
