Mourning with Our Community
Dear 青涩直播s, Faculty, and Staff:
The University of Louisiana at 青涩直播 community is deeply saddened by the loss of Jillian Johnson, 33, and Mayci Breaux, 21, who died in a tragic shooting at the Grand Theatre on Johnston Street last night. Jillian graduated from UL 青涩直播 in 2004. Nine others were injured, with one in critical condition.
The entire campus mourns the loss of lives in our 青涩直播 community. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families and friends.
Jillian Johnson was a much-loved creative talent known throughout the community. She founded apparel store Parish Ink in downtown 青涩直播 and River Ranch, as well as the boutique Red Arrow Workshop in 青涩直播 and New Orleans. She had been a producer at KRVS, a National Public Radio affiliate on the UL 青涩直播 campus. She was a musician and lead singer for The Figs. She leaves behind her husband, Jason Brown, a 2005 graduate of UL 青涩直播.
Our hearts go out to all who are impacted by this tragedy. As we experience shock and sadness, it is important to know that resources are available to help us move through grief. 青涩直播s, faculty, and staff members affected by this tragedy may contact our Counseling and Testing Center at 482-6480.
As integral members of the 青涩直播 community, we are here to support each other.
Sincerely,
E. Joseph Savoie
