"I would like to know about what happened. It certainly makes me nervous walking around here, until we find out exactly what happened," said Tara Lavelle, a student who lives nearby.

DeWolf lived at the Phi Rho Sigma fraternity house with a handful of other medical students. It's in the 200 block of North Ingalls which is only about a block from campus.

"I was just really saddened, you know, I work for the medical school so when there's a loss of life, it's always a sad thing," said Pete Kleymeer.

The Ann Arbor Police Department is investigating the death as a homicide as a result of preliminary results from the Washtenaw County Medical Examiner's office.
