Lt. Richard Collins III — killed just days before graduating from Bowie State University — is being commemorated by the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD).
Mere feet away from where Collins passed away, a plaza has been erected to serve as a “permanent reminder” of the senseless violence that cost him his life.
Today is dedication of Lt. Richard Collins III Plaza, to honor his life, legacy. He was stabbed to death, after visiting a friend. Univ Pres Darryl Pines has said: “We must never forget what happened here on our campus. We will continue to honor the life of Lt. Richard Collins.” pic.twitter.com/7CCvBe2eDW
