A man has been charged in connection with a shooting on the campus of Alabama A&M University in Huntsville earlier this month.

Juvuan Maurice Richards Jr., 20, of Mobile, was arrested March 18 and charged with discharging a gun in an occupied building.

According to court documents, authorities say Richards fired a Glock 17 Gen5 handgun at the Knight Living and Learning Complex on March 18, while officers and students were in the area.

Alabama A&M Police Chief Montrez Payton said on the day of the shooting that a campus police officer was on the fifth floor of the Knight Complex residence hall conducting a routine patrol around 1:50 p.m., when the officer heard shots fired below him.

As the officer responded to see where the shots were coming from, he made contact with a person in the southwest stairwell of the residence hall.

“Multiple shots were exchanged in that stairwell,” Payton said. “An individual was hit multiple times.” The shooting victim was taken to Huntsville Hospital with undisclosed injuries.

The campus police officer, who was not publicly identified, was not injured.

Just seven months ago, the Knight Complex was the scene of another shooting. The incident, on Aug. 22, injured two people and led to the arrests of two suspects.

That shooting was termed as an isolated incident stemming from an altercation between two people.
