He was taken into custody by officers on Tuesday night for warrants on two counts of murder and two counts of arson. Alexander was preparing to begin his second year of law school when he was arrested at the Center for Legal and Social Justice. He had just exited a class, according to university spokesman Andrew Festa.

“The arrest was made in private, outside of any classroom,” Festa said.

Neither the Monroe Police Department nor the Ouachita Parish Prosecutors Office issued comments about the arrest. There are very few details about the crime too.

“Everybody here is very concerned about everybody affected by the accusation, and we’re concerned about the safety and security of the campus,” Festa said.
