A 19-year-old Portland State University student was gunned down near the campus early Monday — and a former football player at the school has been charged in her murder, reports said.
Amara Marluke, a singer who was studying music at the university, was fatally shot in what investigators believe was a domestic violence incident at about 1 a.m. near Southwest College Street and Sixth Avenue, The Oregonian reported.
Later Monday, Keenan Harpole, 20, an ex-running back for Portland State’s football squad, surrendered to police in connection to the deadly shooting, KOIN reported.
Harpole was charged with second-degree murder, unlawful use of a weapon and domestic violence, the outlet reported, citing police.
Marluke was remembered as a loyal family member and friend who had been active since at least high school in advocating for racial and social justice issues, the newspaper reported.
