Stephens said the driver of a second car stopped and called police.

Segura was a law, technology, and culture major and member of the Student Senate's Lobbying Committee, according to the student newspaper, The Vector. 

Stephens asked anyone with information about the incident to call the the Prosecutor’s Office Homicide/Major Crimes Task Force tips line at 1-877-847-7432.
