Yesterday, Florida A&M University released the following
condolences for an alumnus who died from injuries he suffered during the recent mass shooting in Orlando:
Our hearts go out to all of the families of those affected
in the tragic shooting that took place in Orlando on Sunday morning. The horrendous incident happened not far from
the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Law School in downtown
Orlando.
We are especially saddened by the news that one of the
victims was part of the FAMU family.
29-year-old Antonio Davon Brown was a criminal justice major from Cocoa
Beach, Florida and a member of ROTC during his time on the Hill. He graduated
from FAMU in 2008 and is being remembered fondly by classmates and fellow
alumni on social media.
In the meantime, the Florida A&M University community
stands with the entire Orlando community in the wake of tragedy. Our thoughts, and prayers for peace, are with
everyone in central Florida and across this nation.
