“This memorial, which truly captures Riley Howell’s love of nature and Reed Parlier’s passion for technology, forever imprints their presence on Niner Nation, and offers a place of solace for all those affected by the events of April 30. “In 2019, UNC Charlotte made a promise to all the victims and their families to never forget those who suffered and lost so much,” said Chancellor Sharon L. Contributing to a tone of reflection and contemplation are stone benches etched with the names of Riley Howell and Reed Parlier, who were tragically killed, and Rami Alramadhan ’23, Sean DeHart ’21, Emily Houpt ’19 and Drew Pescaro ’22, who were injured. The memorial’s arched framework will serve as a campus gathering place. All members of the UNC Charlotte community and the general public are invited to attend.ĭesigned as a “constellation garden,” the structure’s design follows the orientation of the stars above the building on April 30, 2019. The ceremony will include the annual wreath-laying led by the Police and Public Safety Department.

The memorial, installed on the verdant plaza leading to Kennedy's entrance, will be dedicated at 3 p.m., April 28. As part of UNC Charlotte's annual Day of Remembrance, on Friday, April 28, the University will dedicate a permanent campus memorial to honor two students who lost their lives, those who suffered physical injuries and everyone present in Kennedy Building, Room 236, on April 30, 2019, the date of a shooting on campus.
