Emergency responders, along with campus and local law enforcement, secured the scene. The State Bureau of Investigation is investigating.

Several videos posted on social media showed Sunday morning’s chaos on campus.

At this time, no one has been charged in connection with La’Tavion Johnson’s death or the injuries of the 16 other people.

On Sunday, Jaquez Myrick, 25, of Montgomery, was arrested for possession of a handgun equipped with a machine gun conversion device. Authorities said Myrick was found leaving the scene of the shooting and federally charged with possessing a machine gun.

Tuskegee University canceled all classes Monday and said grief counselors would be available in the chapel.

La’Tavion Johnson graduated from Charles Henderson High School in Troy.

“He was energetic,” Larry Johnson said. “In many ways he was shy until he got to know you, and then he was the life of any party.”

“He was an energetic 18-year-old,” he said. “He loved playing outside. He was country.

La’tavion Johnson worked at Piggly Wiggly right after graduating and also worked on a family member’s farm.

He was scheduled to start a new job next week with the Alabama Department of Transportation in Troy.

Larry Johnson and his wife, Tamika, were asleep early Sunday when they received a phone call from someone telling them their son had been shot. At first they didn’t believe it, then they received a second call from a friend.

“They said it was him and he was lying on the ground,” Larry Johnson said. “They said we had to go to Tuskegee.”

They rushed to Tuskegee University.

“We were right next to the body, and we didn’t even realize it because we were looking up,” Larry Johnson said. “They started surrounding the crime scene and pushed me aside.”

Larry Johnson walked towards his son, whose body was covered.

“I didn’t find out, but I saw his shoes, and that’s what made me realize it was him,” he said. “It was hard.”

Larry Johnson said he spoke with his son Friday at the home of his mother, who was LaTavion Johnson’s grandmother.

Larry Johnson took a Gatorade out of the refrigerator and his son teased him that the drink would cost him $2.

Tamika Johnson saw her son Saturday morning when he went to their house to get medicine for his nephew.

The Johnsons said they generally knew their son’s plans, but did not know he would be traveling to Tuskegee for the homecoming festivities. His grandmother knew he was leaving.

“I usually call him and tell him to be safe,” he said. “This time, only my mom knew.”

Larry Johnson said the gun violence that took his son’s life was senseless.

“I’m going to see if I can talk to some preachers and organize a Stop the Violence rally,” he said. “We need to get rid of these guns because this is getting ridiculous.”

The Johnsons lost another child, a daughter, in a car accident less than two years ago. They are now raising his child.

La’Tavion’s parents said they will remember their son for his laugh and jokes.

“It hurts,” Larry Johnson said.

“We will miss him dearly,” his mother said.
