Carbondale Police John F. Ingram

Carbondale police have identified two Southeast Missouri State University students wanted in connection with an Easter Sunday shooting that left one man dead and put another in the hospital.

Arrest warrants for Travis Tyler, 21, of Hazelwood, Mo., and John Ingram, 21, of Webster Groves, Mo., were issued Wednesday, Jackson County State’s Attorney Michael Carr said in a news release. The suspects are wanted for aggravated battery with a firearm

and aggravated discharge of a firearm.

Both charges are felonies.

Tyler and Ingram are likely in the St. Louis area, according to police.

The two men are considered to be armed and dangerous and a $1 million bond has been set for each suspect, police said.

SEMO student Dwayne Dunn Jr., 21, of St. Louis, was the first suspect arrested and charged with reckless discharge of a firearm in connection to this case. His bond was set at $500,000 by Judge Kimberly Dahlen on Tuesday and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for April 21.

All three students were placed on interim suspension and are not allowed on university premises pending the completion of a criminal investigation, according to a SEMO news release.

Police responded to reports of shots fired about 2 a.m. Sunday in the 400 block of West Walnut Street. Upon arrival Carbondale police said a large crowd of people was seen dispersing and leaving the scene. Investigating officers learned an altercation between two men at the party led to the shooting. Shots were fired inside and outside the house, police said.

SINCE 1916

Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms A Jackson County Ambulance parks outside Evolve Apartments at SIU on Tuesday in Carbondale. About 7 p.m. on Tuesday, officers responded to a call of a person shot in the building. Police said there was a dispute between the victim and the suspect which led to the shooting.

Carbondale police are looking for Daniel D. Holmes of Carbondale as a suspect wanted in connection with a Tuesday evening shooting at an apartment complex near the university.

Holmes, 21, is wanted for aggravated battery with a firearm related to an incident that left one wounded at Evolve Apartments at SIU. Holmes is a black male, 6-foot-2, with short black hair, and should be considered armed and dangerous, police said.

Police responded to reports of a shooting about 7 p.m. Tuesday in the 700 block of South Illinois Avenue. The single victim, a 19-year-old male whose identity has not been released, was struck by a bullet in his lower back and sustained a non-life threatening injury, according to police.

The victim was transported to Carbondale Memorial Hospital for treatment, said police, who had released no further information about his condition as of Wednesday evening.

Investigators determined the victim is an acquaintance of Holmes. The two were visiting with residents before they

became involved in a dispute that led to the shooting.

Holmes fled the scene and his current location was not known by police as of Wednesday evening.

Amanda Neuhouser, who lives down the hall from where the shooting took place, said she got home approximately five minutes after the gun went off.

“There was like a girl yelling, just shouting random stuff and maybe four or five cops outside the door securing the situation,” said Neuhouser, a junior from Bloomington studying cinema.

Evolve issued a statement to tenants Tuesday that said neither the victim or the man wanted by police are believed to be residents.

“Evolve apartments takes the safety and security of our residents very seriously and will continue to assist the Carbondale police with their ongoing investigation,” Carla Tifft, general manager of the apartments, said in a statement.

The apartment complex provided police with surveillance video of the suspect officials have identified as Holmes fleeing the scene, Tifft said.

Parents voice concern about recent gun violence ANNA SPOERRE | @AnnaSpoerre

Following the Sunday shooting in the 400 block of West Walnut Street and the Tuesday shooting at Evolve apartments at SIU, the university received several calls from

concerned parents about campus safety, university spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith said.

Earlier this week the Daily Egyptian asked readers on Facebook how they feel about safety on campus and in the community, and worried parents

@DAILYEGYPTIAN

answered with threats of removing their children from the university.

“As a parent I’m disturbed by this,” Geri Klinger of Algonquin wrote on Facebook. “I wish my son would transfer. But he loves SIU.” Another parent, Annie Gustafson

of Oak Forest, wrote, “The city of Carbondale and the university better get this under control. As a parent of a current student this sickens me to read. You think enrollment is low now? Just wait….”

During an interview Wednesday,

SIU alumnus Keith Bradley said he felt very safe in Carbondale when he was a student in 1989. There were some issues with violence, said Keith — a parent of a current SIU student — but nothing like he sees today.

The recent gun violence has Keith very anxious for his daughter’s safety and well-being.

“If you don’t feel safe, you’re not going to excel,” Keith said.

He said, whether it is true or not, there is a perception SIU and Carbondale are not safe places to be.

“You’re going to have to change the perception if you want to retain students,” Keith said.

Alumnus Ryan Moore, a previous university employee, said he feels less safe on campus and in Carbondale now than he did

The apartment complex provided police with surveillance video of the suspect officials have identified as Holmes fleeing the scene, Tifft said.

SIU spokeswoman Rae Goldsmith said Holmes is not affiliated with the university.

The incident at the apartments is the fifth example of gun violence reported by the Daily Egyptian this year.

Interim Chancellor William Bradley Colwell addressed the recent surge of gun violence in the city in an email sent to SIUC students Wednesday afternoon.

He said the university has “strong crime prevention and enforcement

when he was a student.

However, the Makanda resident said his reaction to the shooting was business as usual.

“This has become the norm,” he said. “It did not surprise me in the least.”

Moore, who has three children, said he would be cautious sending his own children to SIU, and would not want them living on campus or at certain places off campus.

Crime is becoming more a focal point for people who are helping their son or daughter choose a school, he said.

Margaret Bradley said she will not be returning to SIU in the fall solely because she does not feel safe in Carbondale.

initiatives,” including night safety transit and strict regulations banning guns on campus.

“While the incidents are under investigation and many details are not yet available, we must acknowledge that they occurred and do everything we can as an extended community to prevent similar events from happening in the future,” Colwell said. “Together, we can all contribute to the safety of our campus and community.”

Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact the Carbondale Police Department at 618-457-3200 or Crime Stoppers at 618-549-COPS (2677).

Bill Lukitsch can be reached at blukitsch@dailyegyptian.com or 618-536-3329.

“It hurts because we love SIU,” Keith said.

Margaret, a sophomore from Equality studying paralegal, said she was excited coming to the university where three other generations of her family went.

When she heard about the recent shootings, she was frightened and unnerved because she didn’t expect that much violence in a small community.

“Our safety data is on par with other campuses, and we have strong crime prevention and enforcement initiatives,” interim Chancellor Brad Colwell said in an email to students on Wednesday.

Colwell went on to name the “brightway” walking path, strict rules disallowing firearms on campus and

Tim Beaty, 41, was an uninvolved bystander killed by a stray bullet in his home next door, police said during a press conference Monday.

He leaves behind a 5-year-old son.

A second victim, Nehemiah Greenlee, was taken to Carbondale Memorial Hospital for a non-life threatening injury and later transferred to a St. Louis-area hospital where he is being treated, police said.

Greenlee is not listed as an SIU student, according to the university’s people finder website.

The charges against Tyler and Ingram are related to causing

night safety transit as examples of safety implementations.

“Unfortunately, shooting incidents like those that have occurred off campus are not isolated to Carbondale,” Colwell wrote. “Gun violence is a national issue and can occur in any community.”

Colwell advised students to always be aware of their surroundings and stay with people they trust.

“Now that I’m here, I almost can’t leave quick enough,” Margaret said. “I won’t be attending SIU anymore, and I most likely will not send my children here.”

USG, GPSC urge student activity after few come out to town hall TIERRA CARPENTER | @Tierramc_

After less than five students showed up to a Undergraduate Student Government and Graduate and Professional Student Council town hall meeting this week, students’ leaders are looking for support.

Brandon Woudenberg, GPSC’s president, said the purpose of Tuesday’s meeting at Morris Library’s Guyon Auditorium was “to provide a forum for all students to have a comfortable place to come talk to us about the issues that they are concerned about.”

He said they excluded administrators and faculty from the meeting so students would feel at ease.

Kevin Gettis, president of USG, said they promoted the meeting through social media and paper flyers.

Gettis, a senior from Belleville studying history, said students should participate more because these two units represent the student body in front of administrators.

“Maybe we can do more work ourselves to blast it out even more, or get out on campus and do more face-to-face promoting,” he said. “I’m kind of disappointed because these are hot topics and you would think that students would be excited to speak with their leadership to get the points they want across to us.”

Woudenberg said the lack of student interest is especially disheartening because of the little time left in the school year, and the fact that these

issues aren’t going anywhere.

The third-year law student from Carbondale said their goal is to start holding town hall meetings regularly, and their next one is scheduled at 6 p.m.

April 27 in Guyon Auditorium.

Gettis said students are also welcome to voice their concerns at their general meetings held every other Tuesday in the Student Health Center auditorium.

“Even if the faculty or administration has the intention of doing what’s right for the student, they don’t really know because they can’t empathize,” Woudenberg said.

“Most of them are 20, 30 years removed from being in school.”

Woudenberg shared a success story where the two organizations found out about a student issue early enough to solve it. The entities’ Health Center Advisory committee got SIU to provide students with upgraded health insurance last year.

“Up until this year, students who were on the student health insurance were paying a fee for really crappy health insurance, because it really didn’t get you anything,” Woudenberg said. “It provided so little coverage, no prescription benefits.”

planing one's own schedule, Pilota said it is not easy to fit into classes.

"It's hard to connect with people when you're in a classroom full of 18 year olds and you're a 22-year-old veteran just coming out of war," he said.

Pilota said he initially had difficulty paying attention in class and struggled with controlling his anger, occasionally have outbursts if students were talking loudly during class.

"When I came here I was really angry for no reason, but then I went to [Veteran's Integration to Academic Leadership] and they counseled me and they helped me adapt quite a bit," Pilota said of the student support program, which is funded by U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

VITAL partnered with the Marion VA Medical Center to provide a fulltime licensed clinical social worker and a peer support specialist for SIU student veterans.

Licensed clinical social worker Brenda Carter, one of the program's staff, said while she does see students with post-traumatic stress disorder, she more often sees students with panic disorders, anxiety and depression.

"When you first come here it almost feels kind of depressing," Pilota said.

"You kind of keep to yourself ... You don't want to talk to anyone, you just keep to your studies."

He said many veterans don't seek out help, which leads to other problems.

As a part of the VA work-study program at the office of veteran affairs, Pilota said he sees a lot of the struggles encountered by veterans who enter the university right out of the military.

"We found that a lot of veterans were sleeping in their cars until they got their first full GI Bill payment, which usually was about two months after school starts," said Pilota, who is part of the VA work-study program at the university's veteran services office.

For the same reason, he said many can't afford to buy books right away, which increases their potential of falling behind in class.

However, because of federal budget constraints, the VA will no longer provide two full-time workers in the fall, Copeland said.

He said he does not know if the program will continue, but is hopeful it will proceed at a reduced level opposed to none.

Pilota said he has contacted state senators to ask for funding to maintain the program.

"If [the program] leaves, a lot of transitioning veterans won't have anyone to go to on campus to help them with their learning or whatever their social difficulties are," Pilota said.

Group helps veterans get used to campus ANNA SPOERRE | @AnnaSpoerre

Anthony Pilota, a U.S. Marine Corp veteran previously deployed to Afghanistan, said his first two months on campus was one of the loneliest times of his life.

Many veterans who choose to pursue an education after they leave the services can relate to Pilota, a junior from Homewood studying general management.

In response to this, the Continuing Education office hosted a workshop Monday focusing on ways in which faculty can better understand military culture and challenges the 600 or so veterans on campus might face, such as finances, time management, and psychological and physical challenges.

Transitioning from military to civilian life requires a change of mentality and attitude, so building trust between faculty and students is an important first step in helping veterans adjust, said Paul Copeland, veterans' services coordinator at SIU. He said if a student is distracted by loud noises coming from an open window, a teacher may assumed he or she is not concerned with their studies. But Pilota said this supposed uninterested comes from training that demands Marines and soldiers are aware of every detail.

In addition to adjusting from taking orders and working all day to having to

Why I give up trying to fight gun violence AARON GRAFF | @GRAFFINTOSH

I give up on society and no longer fear gun violence.

We've reached a point where we test our luck with everything we do, even if it is relaxing at home. People aren't going to put the guns down, and nobody is going to prevent the violence.

Choose carefully. What shooting range do you want for vacation? What shooting range do you want to attend for school? What shooting range do you want to call home?

I hate gun violence and always have. Politicians and police won't prevent it. Citizens who commit these acts don't realize they are causing harm to more people than those they shoot at.

We just can't have it, especially on or near college campuses. They are the future. These are people with ambition.

Victims of gun violence don't lose to gun violence. They have more power than anyone else to make movement against it. Either they survive and have a new, motivational lifestyle or they die and it brings out their best traits, which angers people that they are gone.

Each individual they inspire is another person who can speak out with their perspective.

Unfortunately, these movements die so fast.

Carbondale recently had three people shot in three days in two instances. The bond of local people after the first one gave me a little hope for the future. They

Bausmith | Los Angeles Times

spoke kind words of a victim, who was killed, in the first shooting. They spoke such angry words against gun violence.

But one person didn't get the message, or forgot the message, and decided a gun was necessary to use against someone just two days later, taking away my hope.

Sure, people can say Carbondale is a safer place than recent events make it seem, and I agree. But the world is not safe and it hasn't been for a long time.

Any normal day can turn traumatic for anyone anywhere.

So politicians, naturally, fight tooth and nail.

"See, if that person had a gun, they could use it and they wouldn't be attacked."

"See, if there were stronger laws or mandatory background checks, that person wouldn't have a gun to attack them."

Both arguments hold equal value and contradiction, but they're also hindsight.

Some claim President Barack Obama is trying to take guns away so

the government can control everything citizens can do. Others don't see any reason for a person to have a gun unless they intend to harm others with it.

Really? Those who say these things ruin a constructive debate.

It's impossible to really think about the future when there are already so many guns out there, and so many in the hands of bad people.

People, including those who protect and serve, have made mistakes with guns. Background checks can only cover so much. Where would the line be

drawn to say one can own a gun or not?

Previous misuse of weapons? A violent history? Traffic tickets? Humans aren't perfect and it would be inefficient to pay for background checks and a judge of each individual trying to purchase.

But you've heard all of this before. In an hour, a day or a week, none of this may matter.

I'm not going to buy a gun to "defend myself." It would probably be more dangerous to have one than not.

That's my choice. Everyone is entitled to their purchase, but they should be educated about safety and be mentally stable.

However, I won't trust anyone with a gun on their person. Some of them intend to use it for bad reasons. Some make mistakes. Either way, we live in an age where we have to be aware of our surroundings.

For now, I'll just stay at the bottom of the gun chain, realizing I really can't do much to stop the issue even if it affects me directly.

Acceptance is the last stage of grief, and all I can do is just that and hope it doesn't happen anymore because all I've heard is talk and the shots getting closer.

I beg someone to prove me wrong.

This isn't about how politicians or police officers can help us. It's about how we can help each other.

Put the guns down.

Salukis undress Racers in rain-shortened affair THOMAS DONLEY | @TDONLEYDE

The game could not beat the rain, but Southern Illinois beat Murray State 5-4 in eight innings Wednesday.

SIU (15-9-1) used a three-RBI day from sophomore first baseman Logan Blackfan to win for the third time in four games.

The member of team personnel responsible for packing Murray State's jerseys forgot to put them on the bus, and the Racers (12-16) were forced to play the first four innings of the game in T-shirts.

"I think it was funny more than anything," junior third baseman Ryan Sabo said. "When we saw them show up without jerseys, we were just like, 'Oh, Lord, what is this? Are we going to be able to play?'"

The game, which had been moved up three hours to avoid the rain that cut it short, started on schedule. Once Murray State's jerseys arrived, its bats did too. A three-run rally in the fifth inning put the Racers ahead 3-2.

That lead would be short-lived, as the Salukis answered with three runs of their own in the bottom of the inning, highlighted by Blackfan's two-run single.

"We had to respond there," Blackfan said.

"Especially in midweek games — there's not as much energy going around, so any runs we can get are huge for us."

The Dawgs, who entered the game with a Missouri Valley Conference-leading 25 double plays turned, executed three more twin killings behind their pitching staff.

Junior right-hander Connor McFadden got the start for SIU and pitched four innings of two-hit shutout baseball, striking out three batters and walking two to lower his earned run average to 3.52.

innings, throwing a shutout and only given up two hits," coach Ken Henderson said. "It was his first start of the year, and we were hopeful to get four good innings out of him. Fortunately, he gave us four great innings."

Junior reliever Anthony Shimkus (40, 2.93 ERA) earned the win with 1.1 innings of one-run relief.

Racer junior starter Austin Dubsky (2-3, 5.91 ERA) was saddled with the loss. He allowed four runs, two of them earned, on seven hits in 4.1 innings with one strikeout and one walk.

Freshman left-hander Seth Hackett earned his first career save with 2.1

innings of two-hit shutout baseball.

He struck out one batter, walked none and picked two runners off first base, dropping his ERA to 1.46.

Senior right fielder Tyler Dixon led the Racers with two hits. Blackfan, junior shortstop Will Farmer and junior center fielder Dyllin Mucha each collected two hits for SIU. The Salukis will face Jacksonville State at 1 p.m. Friday at Itchy Jones Stadium.

Junior left-hander Joey Marciano (2-2, 3.00) will take the hill for SIU. Thomas Donley can be reached at Tdonley@Dailyegyptian.com or at 618-536-3307

SIU football's first scrimmage of the spring season will be a homecoming for its new head coach and a revival of memories for players.

Nick Hill, who was named SIU's coach on December 23, is a native of Du Quoin and attended the town's high school.

"It'll be fun going back home, and I think a lot of people will show up" Hill said. "It'll be cool for them that SIU is coming to practice at their stadium."

The Dawgs have put forth great effort this spring, Hill said, but the scrimmage will offer a true look at how the team is so far.

"We've done a good job practicing ... but it'll be fun to get out there because that's where you can really evaluate people," he said. "The lights will be on and they know we'll be evaluating."

As an Indian, Hill became the school's third passer with 4,000 career yards after a senior season. He racked up 1,451 yards through the air his final year and led the Indians to a 12-2 season and an appearance in the Illinois 3A state championship game.

Hill, who will have his DuQuoin High School football and basketball jerseys retired in the fall, threw 69-for-132 as a senior with 19 touchdowns and one interception. He added 543 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground en route to an all-conference and all-state season.

"The stands [at the high school stadium] are the same, but we had a grass field, now they've got turf," he said. "I've never coached on that turf before, they've got a beautiful facility."

Hill said he wanted to have the scrimmage on turf so the Salukis didn't tear anyone's grass field up.

Hill's coaching career began on Friday nights, as he led the 2013 Carbondale Community High School team that made an Illinois High School Association playoff appearance.

The Friday night lights in Du Quoin are also familiar to a pair of Salukis.

Redshirt freshmen tight end Hunter Cooper and defensive end Nick Wolf graduated from Nashville Community High School and played DuQuoin throughout their high school careers.

Cooper said he's excited to go back to the field where the Indians beat his Hornets — who had a chance to win on the last play of the game.

"It'll be nice, everybody misses [Friday night football] a little bit," he said. "It'll be different, but good to go back."

Cooper said his family will be in attendance and he thinks his high school coach will bring team members down to the game.

Wolf said the game will be good not only for family to attend, but for Du Quoin.

"It'll be good for the community to come out and watch us too," he said.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR: SIU has a critical open competition for the team's most important position: quarterback. Sophomores Sam Straub and Matt DeSomer along with fifth-year transfer senior Josh Straughan and redshirt freshman Tanner Hearn have had equal time with the offense in practice.

Straub looks like the front-runner as he has the strongest arm and the most familiarity with Hill's offensive scheme. DeSomer offers a great option as a rushing quarterback, but he too can sling the ball.

Watch for the quarterbacks to battle for the top spot during the scrimmage at 6 p.m. Friday at DuQuoin High School.
