Xavier was a Learning Community C student who participated in the CRLS Football program in both junior and senior year. He was well known and strongly connected to many students and staff in our community. During his time at CRLS I interacted with Xavier frequently. Many in our community watched him mature over the years. I was personally so happy to witness his growth and development as both a student and a leader. He will be dearly missed but never forgotten in our school. Our community is in mourning and our thoughts are with his family at this time. Virtual and in-person supports will be available for students and staff members in the aftermath of this tragic news. On Sunday March 28th students can access virtual support with CRLS staff starting at 6:30 PM via the following google meet link- https://meet.google.com/cmy-ggun-hwc?hs=122&authuser=0 On Monday, March 29th CRLS staff along with personnel from the Riverside Trauma Center will be available virtually and on-site beginning at 8:35 AM for students and educators. In-person support will occur in the School Committee Room on the 1st floor of the Rindge Building. Supports will remain available for the CRLS community throughout the week.

There was a small vigil at the (unmarked) scene of the crime last night and a couple of local TV stations covered that. Investigation ongoing, no suspect(s) yet, Xavier's last name hasn't been released--indeed his first name hasn't been publicly, but some people there last night knew him. A larger vigil and GoFundMe site for the family are being planned. all best, Mary -- Mary Baine Campbell Professor of English, Comparative Literature, Women's and Gender Studies (Emerita) Brandeis University Waltham, MA 02454-9110
