KSU started its first week of classes in the wake of a homicide/suicide involving a student on Aug. 20
Junior marketing major, Lauren Cooper, was found in her off-campus apartment at the Villas of Kennesaw off of Shiloh Road late Sunday night.
According to Kennesaw Police, Cooper was found murdered in her bedroom alongside co-worker and murderer, Kendrick Ledet, 31, of Smyrna.

Cobb County medical examiner, Brian Frist said that Cooper suffered trauma to the head and strangular wounds upon being sexually assaulted.
...
Ledet died due to self-inflicted cut wounds on his arms, most likely after attacking Cooper.
...
"Lauren was a great friend.She was always smiling, always having fun and always full of life.
...
"Lauren will be deeply missed by the entire Kennesaw State community.Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends."
Cooper started at KSU in the fall of 2002 after graduating from Etowah High School.

I'm surprised that more people aren't expressing their rage here about Lauren Cooper's murder.
