The victims were Kaylee Goncalves (21 years), Madison Mogen (21 years), Ethan Chapin (20 years), and Xana Kernodle (20 years). They were all stabbed multiple times while they were likely asleep between 3 am to 4 am on the second and third floors of an off-campus three-story rented house in Moscow, Idaho. The motive for the killings is still unknown.
The incident shocked and saddened the university community and the town of Moscow, which had not seen a murder since 2015.
