Lockdown Eases After Oakland University Stabbing as Police Seek Two Suspects

Only the area near Van Wagoner Hall remains secured pending confirmation the attackers left campus.

Overview

  • A man who is not a student was stabbed multiple times around 8:15 p.m. outside Van Wagoner Hall and was taken to McLaren Hospital, where he was prepped for surgery.
  • Witness accounts describe two Black men in their early 20s, one with chin-length dreadlocks wearing a black North Face jacket and white shoes, and another with short curly hair wearing a camouflage jacket with a black hood.
  • Both suspects fled in a dark-colored SUV from Hamlin Circle heading east toward the Rochester Hills area, and law enforcement is actively searching for them.
  • The campuswide lockdown has been lifted except near Van Wagoner, and police urged people to stay aware and travel in groups during the ongoing investigation.
  • Anyone with information is asked to call Oakland University Police at 248-370-3331, as students reported fear and temporary disruptions to residence hall access during the response.
