Arrest
On September 24, 2007, police arrested Loyer D. Braden, a Delaware State freshman, in his dorm and charged him with attempted first-degree murder.
I question the young man's intelligence in coming back to campus this morning, if that's what he did. Lord knows what was going through his brain. Maybe he thought he was scot-free.
—Carlos Holmes, university spokesman. One victim, Shalita Middleton, died on October 23 from sustained critical wounds.
On September 28, 2007, following Braden's arraignment hearing, the case was transferred to Superior Court for trial. The judge ordered that if Braden makes bail, he would be barred from visiting the DESU campus or contacting potential witnesses.
