Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis and D’Sean Perry died after a gunman opened fire on a bus filled with students returning from a field trip.
Three University of Virginia football players were identified Monday as the victims killed in a late-night shooting Sunday, with officials arresting a former member of the team who is suspected of carrying out the attack.
Jones faces three counts of second-degree murder and three counts of using a handgun in the commission of a felony, police said. “The doctors said he’s going to recover,” Michael Hollins Sr. said Monday. “They said because of his age and physical condition, he’s doing exceptionally well.” Jones was flagged earlier this year to the university’s threat assessment team, which received a report that he claimed to own a gun. Jones was also involved in a hazing investigation that revealed a prior “concealed weapon violation” in February 2021 that was never reported to the university, police said.
Davis and Chandler, both juniors, played wide receiver for the Virginia Cavaliers, while Perry, also a junior, played linebacker.
