State Attorney Jack Campbell said he will file paperwork in the coming days to seek the death penalty for Phoenix Ikner, a 20-year-old indicted on two first-degree murder charges and seven counts of attempted first-degree murder after he opened fire on FSU’s campus near the Student Union—which left two dead and seven injured—and made his first court appearance earlier this week where he was denied bond and ordered no contact with victims or witnesses.

Vazquez, who sponsors FAMU scholarships and hires graduates, fills a key role during the university’s leadership transition.
