Scholarships – Slain student’s sons receive scholarships
The three young sons of a Southern University student who was killed last month have been presented with full scholarships by the school.
Michael Bailey, a 26-year-old senior engineering major, was shot and killed Oct. 4 near a housing project in San Francisco. The San Francisco Police Department said Bailey was on a weekend trip with friends.
Bailey’s wife and mother fought back tears while accepting the scholarship certificates for his 3-year-old twins, Derrin and Devin, and 2-year-old Michael Jr., on Tuesday.
Bailey’s wife, Deonne, said the couple had fallen in love as Southern students. She says she is proud her sons may be able to follow in her husband’s footsteps at the school through the offer of free tuition.
Police haven’t charged anyone in Bailey’s death. Deonne Bailey said the investigation is ongoing.
Police in San Francisco told reporters there that they initially arrested a woman they believed lured Bailey and his friends to a robbery, but prosecutors released her because of a lack of evidence.
