MURRAY, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky man is being held on a $1 million bond in the shooting death of a Murray State University student.
The Murray Ledger & Times reports Julius Sotomayor is charged with murder, theft by unlawful taking and tampering with physical evidence.
He was arrested on Saturday after the body of Sarah Townsend was discovered in a ditch the previous day.
A preliminary autopsy report determined the 21-year-old Townsend, a pre-veterinary medicine student from Farmville, Virginia, died of multiple gunshot wounds.
Murray State University sent out an email message to students saying “this loss is felt deeply by all of us.”
