Memorial service planned for slain FIU student

MIAMI — Students and faculty at Florida International University will gather to remember Kendall Berry, the running back stabbed to death outside the school’s recreation center.

A celebration of life is scheduled for Monday afternoon on the FIU Modesto A. Maidique campus.

In a statement, FIU called Berry “exceptionally talented on and off the field,” adding that he was kind, full of promise, and made a mark on the community.

The education major was killed Thursday after authorities say he and suspect Quentin Rashad Wyche got into a verbal dispute. Wyche turned himself in to police Friday.
