According to the victim, he was on his way home after just learning that his roommate had died when the attack took place. Both Rogers and Gordon were eventually arrested for the attack nearly a month later.

All of this occurred while Rogers was also being investigated for two alleged rapes that occurred earlier that school year in the fall of 2023.

According to the rape police report, Rogers forced himself on both victims, violently choking and slapping one of the victims. The report also says one of the alleged victims dropped out of school, lost her job and attempted suicide.
