Earlier today, a murder occurred on the Campbellsville University campus. Appears the victim was a freshmen wrestler, Josiah Kilman (149, Montana state placer). The suspect shares the same last name as a wrestler that was previously on the Campbellsville roster, but I’m hoping that’s a coincidence. Terrible news, regardless. Last campus you’d expect something like this to occur. Sending prayers to CU  and the Kilman family.

It was him. I’m curious to the full story. 

Anyone know what actually happened?

I’ve heard some rumblings, but nothing concrete I’d feel comfortable sharing publicly. 

This is the most detailed coverage I’ve been able to find. https://nypost.com/2024/02/25/us-news/campbellsville-u-murder-student-charged-in-dorm-death/

Now that it appears to be confirmed that it’s Zeke Escalera, I am surprised he ended up at CU. This isn’t a knock to their program, as I wrestled for them, but after winning Fargo and Prep Nationals, I figured he’d get some looks from D1 programs. 

Tragic situation all the way around.
