Several broadcast media reported that Brandi Hephner LaBanc, the university’s vice chancellor for student affairs, released this statement via email last night: “The University of Mississippi community mourns the tragic loss of Carli Sears. We are simply heartbroken by this news. Our thoughts are with all of her family and those in the Ole Miss family that shared in her life.”
Carli Sears was a hospitality major and a member of the Alpha Omicron Pi chapter at the University of Mississippi.
WV Metro News reports: “Morgantown Police say they are looking for a black pick-up truck that struck Sears on Stewart Street then left the scene. The vehicle should have damage to the right front fender area along with possible grill and passenger mirror damage, according to police.”
