Memorial Planned For Sac State Dorm Beating Victim

SACRAMENTO (CBS) ― California State University, Sacramento officials are planning a memorial for the 23-year-old student who was beaten to death in his dormitory room.

A candlelight service will be held Wednesday night in front of the American River Courtyard residence hall, where Scott Hawkins lived in a four-person suite.

His roommate, 19-year-old Quran Jones, is accused of beating him to death with a baseball bat Oct. 21. The suspect remains hospitalized in fair condition after being shot by officers who encountered him wielding a knife.
Jones faces murder and attempted murder charges.

Investigators still don't know a motive for the killing, and relatives and roommates said the two did not have any apparent conflict. Witnesses said Jones had begun destroying his dorm room with the bat even before Hawkins walked in.
