Cody Cousins is being charged with murder in the death of fellow Purdue student Andrew Boldt.
According to a probable cause affidavit filed in Tippecanoe Superior Court 2, Cousins entered the Electrical Engineering building around noon Tuesday, found Boldt in a basement classroom, and proceeded to shoot and stab him.
Cousins was taken into custody within minutes outside the Northwestern Avenue entrance to the building.
Police later located a handgun, several shell casings, and a knife near Boldt’s body on the floor of the classroom where the attack occurred.
The probable cause affidavit does not give any information as to the motive for the murder.
