ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- South Carolina State University and related groups have settled a lawsuit involving the shooting death of one of its students for $437,000.
Lawyers for the estate of junior football player Brandon Robinson said the university didn’t do enough to protect him before he was killed on Jan. 24, 2014.
“We are pleased to bring some resolution to this unfortunate incident,” attorney Shane Burroughs said. “Initially, we believed that additional security or campus police would have prevented this tragedy from occurring.
“However, we discovered throughout the course of the case several institutional failures that we believe contributed to the shooting and Brandon’s death.”
The 20-year-old Robinson graduated from O-W in 2011 and was set on attending S.C. State with the hopes of becoming an engineer.
He played as an outside linebacker and defensive end for the S.C. State Bulldogs.
