Ryan, while confirming that Jones Jr. is a UVA student, said the suspect remains at large and is considered armed and dangerous. Jones, a former UVA football player, is described by police as a black man who was last seen wearing a burgundy jacket or hoodie, blue jeans and red shoes. He may be driving a black SUV with a Virginia TWX3580 license plate.

“Multiple law enforcement agencies are coordinating their efforts to locate and apprehend him,” Ryan said. “At the time of writing, I am heartbroken to report that three people have died as a result of the shooting and two others have been injured and are currently receiving medical attention.” We are working with the families of the victims and will share more information as soon as we receive it.”

“I am devastated that this violence took place at the University of Virginia,” Ryan added. “The victims, their families and everyone in the University of Virginia community are in my heart today, and we will plan to come together as a community to mourn once the suspect is in custody.”

The shooting was initially reported around 22:30 pm on November 13, when shots rang out in Culbreth's garage.
