It's been one year since the UVA and Charlottesville communities were devastated by the tragic and senseless shooting on November 13th, 2022 that resulted in the deaths of three Virginia football players - Lavel Davis Jr., Devin Chandler, and D'Sean Perry - as well as injuries to Mike Hollins and another UVA student Marlee Morgan. 

On Monday, the one-year anniversary of that heartbreaking day, the University of Virginia is holding several events to remember and reflect on that event and honor the lives and memories of the victims.
