York Zed Bodden, 27, fatally attacked the Bethune-Cookman University students after they asked him to move out of their apartment. Bodden opened fire on the women around 2:30 p.m. Thursday at an apartment complex in Daytona Beach. 
"Please keep the loved ones of students Timesha 'Lisa' Floyd-Carswell and Diona McDonald in your immediate thoughts and prayers," the university wrote on their Facebook page after Bodden was arrested Friday.

He fled from the scene but was later apprehended by police that Friday. Bodden was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault.
