The entire Louisiana Tech community is mourning the loss of Annie Richardson. Richardson was wounded during Monday’s stabbing attack at the Lambright Sports and Wellness Center and succumbed to her injuries this evening.
The suspect, Jacoby Johnson, is now additionally charged with one count of second degree murder.
“My prayers are with Annie’s husband Peter, the entire Richardson family, and all who called Annie a friend,” President Les Guice said. “Our Tech family will feel the pain of this incident for some time but we are fortunate to have such a caring community to rely upon as we grieve together.”
The University’s Counseling Services are available to students individually and in a group setting, Guice said, and a campus blood drive benefitting the victims is happening Thursday in the Student Center.
