Murder suspect from East Central University may have targeted other students

ADA — An 18-year-old man known at East Central University for walking around in a black suit may have targeted other students living in the freshman dorms, a suite mate says.
---
Sometimes he used a cane, even though he didn't need one.
---
Jerrod Murray, of Asher, was charged Friday in Pottawatomie County with first-degree murder.

He is accused of killing fellow ECU student Generro Sanchez, who apparently was lured to his death after agreeing to give Murray a ride to a Walmart in exchange for $20.
---
Pottawatomie County Undersheriff J.T. Palmer described the defendant's demeanor following his arrest.

“I asked the suspect how it made him feel,” Palmer wrote. “He said it was OK.”
---
“He just didn't seem right,” suite mate Evan Jolliff said. “But I didn't ever really want to say that … didn't really want to judge him … just because he wore a suit.”

As the suspect was led away from court Friday in Shawnee, Murray told a television reporter that he wasn't proud of what he has confessed to doing to Sanchez. He also said he wasn't sorry about shooting the victim, even as the young man begged for his life.

One wonders what this youngster was like in high school. Did he go to college only to major in murder?

In other words, he is not presently mentally ill in a controlled environment, with routine and medication. Then that is where he should stay, IMHO.
