Rikessa La’Shae Lee

How they died

Vehic/Purs

Driver Khalil Abdurrahman, 26, was stopped at the Alcorn State guard gate because an officer allegedly smelled marijuana coming from inside the other. Abdurrahman sped off and reportedly almost hit another campus police officer in his cruiser. Campus police pursued the other off campus onto MS 552 west where Abdurrahman lost control and hit a tree. Abdurrahman and his passenger, Rikessa Lee, were both ejected from the other and it became fully engulfed in flames. Lee died at the scene. Both were Alcorn State students.
