Pierre Damas Bel Memorial | Dayton News

A candlelight memorial is being held for Pierre Damas Bel, a bright 20-year-old Wright State student who tragically died after being hit by a semi-truck — his family believes it was a suicide spurred by bullying over an ankle monitor imposed by ICE after his Haitian TPS status ended. Once a standout in Marine Corps ROTC and soccer, Pierre dreamed of becoming a doctor. The student government invites everyone to gather on Sept. 8 at 8 PM in the Quad to honor his life.
