BATON ROUGE - Police have identified the suspect arrested in connection to a shooting on Southern University's campus Thursday night.

Baton Rouge Police Sgt. L’Jean Mckneely Jr. identified the shooter as 20-year-old Larry McCray of Reserve, La. McCray will be charged with attempted first degree murder. He was taken into custody on campus near a university dorm. 

Police believe more arrests are possible as the investigation continues. 

EMS confirmed that a 19-year-old male was shot during a robbery near the university's library after 9:40 p.m. Thursday night. The victim was transferred to Our Lady of the Lake Hospital and is now in critical condition.

Thursday's shooting prompted the school to go into lockdown for five hours overnight. The lockdown was lifted early Friday morning after McCray was taken into custody.

McKneely stressed that the shooting was an isolated incident and did not involve any Southern University students.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the BRPD Violent Crimes Unit at 389-4869.
