Joey Banks Investigation:
University Police are awaiting the results from the medical examiner’s report before they can make a final ruling about Joey Banks’ cause of death.
“The last thing we want do is make a ruling without all of the info,” Major David Kelly said. “We don’t want to make an erroneous notification.”
After University Police receives the autopsy reports and they conclude interviewing all of the witnesses of the fall, they will be able to officially decide upon the case of death.

Wolf Alert Investigation:
University Police are still investigating the two alleged sexual assaults that were reported within the past week and a half.
The most recent alleged sexual assault occurred between a female victim and male perpetrator. The incident took place at Carroll Hall and the two are said to have known each other, according to Major David Kelly.
No charges are brought up against the male student at the time.
University Police is working with Student Conduct to see if the perpetrator should be prosecuted based on evidence and university violations.
The other alleged sexual assault case is also still being investigated.
“We take all of these investigations and whatever evidence we have to the district attorney,” Major David Kelly said. “Then we decide whether we follow with the prosecution of the case and if we secure charges against the individual.”
The Technician will continue posting updates about both investigations as they become available.
