Loved ones, friends and classmates of Cameron Redus gathered outside the University of the Incarnate Word on Dec. 6 for a candlelight vigil. There, they recalled Redus as an unselfish, upbeat young man who held strongly to his faith and convictions. On Dec. 6, 2013, Redus, a UIW senior, was fatally shot by then-campus police officer Christopher Carter in an off-campus traffic stop. Redus was 23.
