#SacStateSays: ‘How did you react after hearing about the death of Sac State student William Molina?’
April 21, 2019
How did you react after hearing about the death of Sac State student Will Molina following a pellet gun shot?
Sacramento State student William Molina died after being shot by a pellet gun at an off-campus gathering Friday morning at a house referred to by Pi Kappa Alpha members as “The Fratican.” Molina was 21 years old, from Folsom and set to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in business next month.
Molina was a member of the university’s Pi Kappa Alpha chapter. The fraternity organized its annual fundraiser “Dunk a Pike” the following Wednesday, with all proceeds going to the Molina family. Students walking by weighed in with their thoughts on his death.

I miss the days before social media when the only gossip guru around was the National Inquirer. Now you have Sac State asking for opinions before we have all the facts. Part of giving Will’s family and friends privacy and respect is avoiding stories like this.

This is very insensitive to discuss. It was a freak accident, unintentional. A large group of young men are hurting, the family & friends, the kid who accidentally fired the bb gun at his friend. Why are you asking the opinion of strangers, who very likely know but a fraction of the story? This is a very heavy topic and asking the opinion of random people, who’s opinions on the situation quite frankly don’t matter, will do more harm than good. Please delete this.

This is the most insensitive headline the university has ever released. There are people mourning, hurt, upset and you continue to use this as a HEADLINE??!! This is truly disgusting and I hope this post gets removed immediately. Obviously everyone was shocked and upset…

I feel great compassion for the Molina family. Such a waste of a good life. But I also feel anger. What was a gun doing at a social gathering. A promising young life was wasted because of that gun.

I feel so sad for the family to have lost their son so tragically & so soon, especially when he was so close to graduating. There should definitely be some type of penalty against the fraternity or the member who aimed & shot the gun at Will. I am also upset that the fraternity had the audacity to host a “dunk tank” in order to raise money for the victim. There could have been several other things the frat could have done to raise money, but the dunk tank made it seem as if the boys didn’t take the situation seriously (especially in these specific circumstances & cause of death).
