What a sad, sad, terrible story. The Trib article says this young man just defended his dissertation - such an important milestone in one's career, especially in consideration of what I have to assume were some major personal sacrifices and challenges as an international student. Here's hoping the murderer is found and brought to justice.

I have written an obituary for Amadou here. I invite friends to leave a memory. I have collected some additional details about his murder here.
