N.C. State University Police arrested six suspects Thursday in conjunction with an assault on a student that took place Oct. 31 in E.S. King Village. 

The alleged assault occurred at 7:50 p.m. on in the parking lot, located near Gorman Street and Western Boulevard. The victim suffered non-life-threatening wounds and bruises, according to Campus Police. 

Campus Police were able to catch these subjects by using “good, old-fashioned, police work,” N.C. State Police Chief  Jack Moorman said.

Moorman said investigators determined the suspects either lived in the area or frequented it.

 “We knew that the suspects had left on foot the night of the crime,” Moorman said.

Campus Police communicated with the community, implanted traffic checkpoints and increased police presence in that area, all of which enabled the investigators to identify possible suspects, Moorman said.

Campus Police charged Wanya Malik Whitley, 17, Joclyn Lenee Mosby, 16, and Camden Thomas Seymour, 16, with robbery.

Campus Police also charged Seymour with assault because he allegedly struck the victim. 

Three other suspects were also arrested but remain unnamed because they are younger than 16 years old.

“We were able, ultimately, to get the names of all six that were involved in the incident,” Moorman said.

As a result of these charges, none of the suspects are ever allowed to step foot on campus again, according to Moorman.

N.C. State’s trespass policy states that University officials may lift this restriction if they later determine that there is a justifiable reason to do so.  

According to police, investigators have not yet been able to determine any relationship between the Oct. 31 assault and a separate robbery that occurred on Oct. 29 near Carmichael Gymnasium.

“Like always, we do our best to keep this campus safe, but we depend on everyone’s assistance,” Moorman said.
