Monday at 7 p.m. there will be a candlelight vigil in front of Arkansas Hall. Today's THV is told that Henderson's father will speak to the crowd of students.  The event is being organized by the Student Government Council.

Sunday night, a gospel benefit concert was held to raise money for a college scholarship in the victims' honor. The award will be given to a male student at each of the victim's high schools.

Kelcey Perry is charged with capital murder for allegedly pulling the trigger. Three others, who police say drove the getaway car, are charged with the same crime.

Donations for the scholarships will be accepted at the Student Center, Room 207, or by mail at the foundation office. Checks should be made payable to the UCA Henderson-Block Fund. You can learn more by calling 501-450-3137.
