Student Charged in Second Homicide

A University of New Mexico student, Jaylen Hopewell, now faces charges in a second homicide after allegedly stabbing homeless man Genovevo Rodriguez in March. Already jailed for a fatal shooting in May, Hopewell was linked to the stabbing via surveillance footage, phone records, and disturbing digital evidence—including searches on anatomy and serial killers. The victim showed defensive wounds, and investigators found violent notes and anatomical research in Hopewell’s dorm. A co-defendant reportedly called him “killing homeless people” in jail calls. Hopewell has been expelled, and his prior legal team will handle this new charge—revealing a chilling pattern of escalating violence.
