Fundraiser to assist family of nursing student slain on UGA campus

By Joe Johnson

A Gofundme campaign has been launched by a friend of Laken Riley to assist her family in the aftermath of the 22-year-old nursing student's murder Thursday morning on a University of Georgia running trail in Athens.

Kanaan Rogers, who is from Riley's hometown of Woodstock, explained that the raised funds will go towards helping Riley's family with funeral expenses, establish a scholarship in her name, raise homicide awareness, "or any other opportunity the family could use it for during this difficult time."
