Father sues University of Georgia over daughter's campus killing by migrant
Jason Riley, whose 22-year-old daughter Laken was tragically killed on the University of Georgia campus in Athens, is suing the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia. He alleges that negligence on the part of the university and several property managers allowed her convicted killer, Jose Ibarra, to live nearby. The lawsuit claims that this negligence contributed to the circumstances leading to Laken's death. Riley emphasizes that the university system failed to ensure the safety of its students and that the situation highlights broader issues regarding campus security and management. The lawsuit also points out that there were multiple opportunities to prevent Ibarra's presence on campus, which should have been addressed by the authorities. In a statement, Riley expressed his belief that no family should have to endure such a tragedy due to systemic failures. The case raises serious questions about the responsibilities of educational institutions in safeguarding their students. As the legal proceedings unfold, the implications of this case may resonate beyond Georgia, prompting discussions about campus safety nationwide.
