Wasn't there a guy who broke into a girl's house, killed a girl and set her body on fire or something too? I think the fire might have killed the girl's roommate too.


Ynobe Matthews. Went to high school with him. Ynobe is ebony spelt backwards.

He did set the body on fire, but, didn't kill the roomate. He had killed and dumped the body of another girl a few months earlier and they were able to link his DNA. He did not appeal his conviction and got the needle a few years later

Is that the one where he locked the roommate in the trunk of a car or something? Was that one off campus? I remember reading something about it when he finally got executed.

What about the guy who thought he was chatting up a girl online in the 90's, but it was actually a man. He ended up meeting the "girl" and was killed. Crazy thing is the killer was actually in the kid's dorm room when his roommate came in.

Another "crazy" was the MSC President who said he was kidnapped.

Holy crap I forgot about that fake kidnapping. Right around the same time there was a girl who lost it and went missing for a few days. Everyone thought she'd been kidnapped but they found her sleeping in her car somewhere in Houston a few days later.

I'm surprised the firebombing of Stack (FAA Felony) hasn't been mentioned.

Because a prank that was over the line is on the same level as murder

Not on campus, but in 1994 a guy named Ron Shamburger broke into a girl he had known's apartment and killed her, kidnapped her roommate and set the victim's body on fire when he couldn't get the bullet out - he had bought the gun that killed her on her credit card, which he had stolen by breaking into her apartment a week earlier.

Didn't kill the roommate. Just looked him up, he was executed in 2002. Was in my Spanish 102 class at the time he committed the murder.

Two different guys... As above, Shamburger killed the girl, set the body/house on fire (that was over by sorority row) and put the roommate in the trunk. Ynobe Matthews killed a girl in her apartment and dumped the body, then kidnapped another girl in the middle of an intersection.


Probably the most brutal (also not on campus) was the murder of the Julie's restaurant manager. The girl swallowed the key to the safe to keep the guy from getting it. He got it anyway.

MuckRaker - that's the one I was thinking of. Forgot the part where he tried to get the bullet out afterwards. It was before my time but I remember hearing about it while I was at A&M because he was executed while I was there.

Elsie - when was the Julie's Restaurant thing? Yikes.

The murder of the girl and her brother was just in 2009. I was teaching an ENTO class and had the first responding CSPD officer in my class. Was not on campus though.

Wasn't there a serial rapist in the late 90's?


yes, it was scary. There were four or five rapes and beatings on southside from the same guy. I believe he was caught in waco or something.

Arrest made in A&M death investigation
Published: Friday, April 28, 2000

SAN MARCOS {AP} Sheriff's deputies arrested a 31-year-old San Antonio man Thursday in the mysterious death of a Texas A&M University student who may have been lured to a fatal rendezvous via the Internet. Kenny Wayne Lockwood was arrested at a San Antonio hospital, where he was a patient, according to a written statement from the Hays County Sheriff's Department.

Police suspect Lockwood took part in the killing of Kerry Kujawa, 20, of Richmond, who was found dead last Wednesday on a ranch near Dripping Springs, about 20 miles west of Austin. He had been shot in the back of the head and his shoes and socks were missing.

Authorities said they believe Kujawa was killed shortly after he left College Station on April 7 to meet a mystery woman named "Kelly" from San Antonio he had met over the Internet.

Did y'all hear about something that I assume happened last night? I'm listening to 98.3 KORA in my office here in Houston, and a second ago they had a small news segment where the VJ mentioned something about a guy holing himself up in his apartment firing rounds for a few hours around the apartment. Bullets were apparently flying everywhere... through other apartment windows, vehicles, everything. It eventually ended with the guy taking his own life.

Just what I just heard on the radio about 5 minutes ago.

After the shooting, authorities say friends took Bennett to the College Station Medical Center, but by the time they arrived, Bennett was already dead.

It’s believed multiple guns were used and Kirk says several persons of interest have been identified.

there is a comment below the shooting story suggesting PEOPLE shouldn't be held personally accountable for their actions because they get bored at bars not being able to drink..... give me an effing break.

It's an unfortunate incident for sure. But it's all these after hours places that stay open to the early morning hours of Sunday morning that the cause. As previously stated nothing good happens that early in the morning. All bars close after 1am so why wasn't this place closed? There these type places around in my county that stay open till 5am. It's ridiculous that these type places stay open. They can't serve alcohol, and I know they aren't going there to just talk and hang out. Probably don't have security, and no telling what goes on unsupervised in the parking lot. My guess would be alcohol consumption, drugs, etc. This kind of activity needs to stop before another unfortunate person loses their life.

This is the story I was talking about. No one was injured in this one, except the shooter.

quote:
An incident at University Park Apartments in College Station that began with a man yelling and shooting a gun ended a few hours later when police found the man dead inside his apartment, an apparent suicide.

The College Station SWAT and negotiation teams were called to the complex in the 100 block of Southwest Parkway at about 12:30 a.m. Saturday after police received reports of man who was yelling and shooting a gun in all directions, hitting some cars and an office window.

Police attempted to get in contact with the man, who had retreated inside an apartment. They entered the apartment at about 4:30 a.m. after hearing a shot fired inside and found the 22-year-old man dead of a gunshot wound.

There were no other injuries, police said.

In 1992, there was a pregnant girl in one of the Commons dorms who gave birth in the bathroom and threw her baby down the garbage chute from the fourth floor. Awful...

djalk, there a link to a Chronicle article posted back on Page 1. He was identified by one of the victims in Bryan not long after Lowe's opened. However, his parents helped him escape. He was eventually arrested in Ohio.

I was a student worker at UPD around the time the story was featured on Unsolved Mysteries.
