U of I holds vigil for victims

Vigil marks 1 year since killings

MOSCOW — University of Idaho students held a vigil to honor the lives and memories of Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen on Monday, Nov. 13, one year after the students were slashed in the off-campus dorm off of King Road.

The vigil began at 6 p.m. on the Administration Lawn on the University of Idaho campus.

The event focused on honoring and remembering the lives of the four students.

Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen were stabbed and killed in an off-campus home in the early morning of Nov. 13, 2022.

Nearly two months later, Moscow police arrested the suspect, 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger, at his family’s home in Pennsylvania. He was extradited to Idaho and booked into Latah County Jail in early January, where he has been since.

Kohberger is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary and could face the death penalty if convicted.
