The slain 21-year-old University of Utah student spent days after breaking
up with her boyfriend – who was a registered sex offender – telling
university police that he was harassing her.
According to Lauren McCluskey’s mother, her daughter broke up with 37-
year-old Melvin Rowland on Oct. 9 after she was informed by a friend about
his criminal history. Days later, she told university police he had begun
harassing her.
On Monday night – about 13 days after the breakup – Rowland shot and
killed McCluskey as she returned to her apartment from a night class. He
fatally shot himself at a Salt Lake City church in the early hours of
Tuesday morning.
University of Utah Police Chief Dale Brophy told reporters Tuesday that
McCluskey filed a police report against Rowland on Oct. 12 and Oct. 13. He
would not elaborate on what those reports involved.
“It was assigned out to a detective. The detective had been in contact
with Ms. McCluskey and they were working to build a case against our
suspect at the time,” he added.
Melvin Rowland, a 37-year-old registered sex offender, is believed to have
shot and killed University of Utah student Lauren McCluskey. He was found
dead with from a self-suspected gunshot wound about 4 miles from campus.

The police chief said his officers could not locate Rowland in the days
leading up to the fatal shooting because “we don’t have a correct address
for him.”
However, the Department of Corrections told the Salt Lake Tribune that
parole officials knew where Rowland was living. The spokeswoman told the
newspaper that university police officers did not inform them about the
harassment allegations against Rowland.
“We had no notification of any of that,” Kaitlin Felsted, a spokeswoman
for the Utah Department of Corrections told the newspaper.
She said Rowland was “not fully compliant” with his latest parole and that
he was working with his parole agent “to get through those” violations.
At a news conference, Brophy was asked if the university’s police did
enough to protect McCluskey. He responded: “I want the answer to that
question as well, when we have it we will share it with you.”
UNIVERSITY OF UTAH STUDENT, 21, KILLED BY EX-BOYFRIEND WAS ON PHONE WITH
PARENTS BEFORE FATAL SHOOTING
McCluskey’s mother, Jill, said in a statement released Tuesday that
Rowland had lied to her daughter about “his name, his age, and his
criminal history.
"Lauren was informed by a friend about his criminal history, and she ended
the relationship with her killer on October 9, 2018," the statement said.
"She blocked his and his friends' phone numbers and complained to the
University of Utah police that she was being harassed."
Rowland was convicted of attempted forcible sex abuse and enticing a minor
over the Internet in 2004. He was released from prison in 2013.
Rowland was prohibited from owning a gun while on parole and it was
unclear how he obtained one.
Jill McCluskey said she had been talking on the phone with her daughter as
Lauren returned from a night class and heard her yell, "No, no, no!" A few
minutes later, a woman picked up the phone and said all of Lauren
McCluskey's belongings were on the ground.
"I thought she might have been in a car accident," Jill McCluskey said.
"That was the last I heard from her."
University President Ruth Watkins said classes were canceled Tuesday and a
vigil would be held Wednesday night.
"As a campus community, we share grief over this tragic loss of life,"
Watkins said in a statement.
Lauren McCluskey was set to graduate in May 2019 with a degree in
communications. She was on the University of Utah's track and field team.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
