Summary
Two Langston University students — Stania Webb and incoming freshman Diamond Stubbs — were killed in a June car crash in the Bahamas, jolting the Oklahoma campus and its Caribbean student community.
Webb had just finished her sophomore year and stayed in Nassau to work over the summer and earn money for the fall semester, according to Caribbean Student Organization graduate adviser Uri Butler.
Video from the Bahamas showed residents honoring Webb, Stubbs and two others killed in the crash, with Butler saying the deaths sent a "ripple effect" through Cat Island and beyond.
Langston said counseling is available through its hotline, while students are organizing a vigil or balloon release to honor the two women.
