“D' Sean Perry, a linebacker and defensive end for the University of Virginia football team, is one of three people shot dead at Culbreth Garage on UVa Central Grounds at the University of Virginia Sunday night, Perry's father Sean Perry confirmed Monday morning.”

The shooter, suspected to also be a former member of Virginia's football team, is still reportedly at large. Police have cautioned civilians, as the suspect is still “armed and dangerous”. The suspect, one Christopher Darnell Jones, reportedly was a transfer who tried out for the Virginia team, but did not make it to the final roster.

D'Sean Perry was a linebacker for the University of Virginia in the 2022 season. During their previous game against the University of Pittsburgh, he recorded two tackles for the team.

After the mass shooting, the University of Virginia suspended all classes for the following day (November 14). The incident happened at around 10 pm on Sunday. Six gunshots were reportedly heard in the campus, prompting students to immediately take cover.

We offer our condolences to the family of D'Sean Perry.
