A vigil has been held in Danbury for two West Conn students killed last month in a car accident in Colchester. 

Hundreds of people gathered on the westside campus to remember 18-year olds Tyler Graham and Jacob Chapman.  After a moment of silence, West Conn President John Clark said this was a time to celebrate the energy they both brought to the university, and that they will be remembered during the 2025 commencement when they would have graduated. 

The lacrosse players were remembered by teammates as being special people, with the team captain saying they are still shocked and saddened.  A lacrosse scrimmage game among teammates was held after the ceremony in honor of Chapman and Graham.

Another student, 19-year-old Trey Massaro, was seriously injured but is recovering at home in Massachusetts.
