 Police supervision reduced after racism claims–then a black student was murdered on campus: lawsuit
Rory Walsh - Cornell University •June 10, 2019

Wake Forest University hit with wrongful death lawsuit

The mother of a black student-athlete who was shot and killed at a campus party at Wake Forest University has sued the school and others, claiming officials’ decision to reduce police supervision at campus parties after complaints campus cops were racially biased against black student events ultimetly led to the murder of her son.

Winston-Salem State football player Najee Ali Baker (pictured) was shot and killed at a January 2018 party at Wake Forest University. The lawsuit, filed in May 2019, alleges Wake Forest University is partially responsible for Baker’s death because it failed to provide adequate security at the student-organized event on campus.

Suspect Arrested in Shooting of Najee Ali Baker
By Becky Swig 1 year ago

Jakier Shanique Austin, a suspect in the Jan. 20 murder of Winston-Salem State University student Najee Ali Baker, has been arrested in Charlotte, NC. Austin was arrested on April 11, 2018, more than two months after the shooting on Wake Forest’s campus. Austin was on the run for over two months after shooting Baker in January.

Somehow, I do not think a police presence afraid of being branded racist would have prevented the problem.
