Emergency responders, along with campus and local law enforcement, secured the scene. The State Bureau of Investigation is investigating.

Several videos posted on social media showed the Sunday morning chaos on campus.

So far, no one has been charged in connection with La’Tavion Johnson’s death or the injuries to the other 16 people.

On Sunday, Jaquez Myrick, 25, of Montgomery, was arrested for possession of a weapon with a machine gun conversion device. Authorities said Myrick was found leaving the scene of the shooting and charged federally with possession of a machine gun.

Tuskegee University canceled all classes Monday and said grief counselors would be available in the chapel.

La’Tavion Johnson graduated from Charles Henderson High School in Troy.

“He was energetic,” Larry Johnson said. “In so many ways he was shy until he got to know you and then he was the life of every party.”

“He was an energetic 18-year-old,” he said. “He loved to play outside. He was country.”

Latavion Johnson worked at Piggly Wiggly right after graduation and also worked on a family member’s farm.

He was to start a new job next week with the Alabama Department of Transportation in Troy.

Larry Johnson and his wife, Tamika, were sleeping early Sunday when they got a call from someone telling them their son had been shot. At first they didn’t believe them, then they got a second call from a friend.

“They said it was him and he was laying on the ground,” Larry Johnson said. “They said we had to get to Tuskegee.”

They rushed to Tuskegee University.

“We were sitting right there next to the body and we didn’t even notice because we were looking up,” Larry Johnson said. “They started clearing the crime scene and pushed me out of the way.”

Larry Johnson walked over to his son, whose body was covered.

“I didn’t spot him, but I saw his shoes and that made me realize it was him,” he said. “It was hard.”

Larry Johnson said he spoke with his son Friday at the home of his mother, who was LaTavion Johnson’s grandmother.

Larry Johnson grabbed a Gatorade from the fridge and his son teased him that the drink would cost him $2.

Tamika Johnson saw her son Saturday morning when she went to their house to get some medicine for her grandson.

The Johnsons said they usually knew their son’s plans, but they didn’t know he would be going to Tuskegee for homecoming festivities. His grandmother knew he was going.

“I usually call him and tell him to be safe,” he said. “Only my mother knew this time.”

Larry Johnson said the gun violence that took his son’s life was senseless.

“I’ll see if I can talk to some preachers and do a Stop the Violence rally,” he said. “We have to get rid of these guns because it’s getting ridiculous.”

The Johnsons lost another child, a daughter, in a car accident less than two years ago. Now I am raising her child.

La’Tavion’s parents said they will remember their son for his laugh and jokes.

“It hurts,” Larry Johnson said.

“He will be greatly missed,” his mother said.
