Morris, 36, was returning to the campus early Thursday when an acquaintance, also a student at the South Side school, beat him to death near the Keating Sports Center in the Bronzeville neighborhood. The other student, 43, was taken into custody at the scene.
"He was very ambitious and a person who yearned to mentor young men. He was a great guy,” said Kimberly Tubbs, who dated him for eight years. “He was not only striving for himself, but also his family. He wanted people to be proud of him and he wanted to reach back and help other young men find their way in life.”
Morris was found around 5 a.m. Thursday in a parking lot in the 3000 block of South Wabash Avenue after police got a call of a battery, said Officer Ana Pacheco, a Chicago police spokeswoman.
