11 charged in death of Virginia Commonwealth University student Adam Oakes

Eleven people have been indicted in the February death of a Virginia Commonwealth University student, Richmond police said Friday. Adam Oakes died at an off-campus house, and his death was attributed to alcohol poisoning by the medical examiner.

Eight of the 11 have been arrested, and the other three are expected to turn themselves in over the coming days, Richmond police said in a statement. Seven were taken into custody by VCU Police and remain at the Richmond Justice Center, where they are being held without bond. Enayat W. Sheikhzad, 22, was taken into custody by Virginia State Police in Prince William County and was released on bond, police said. All eight face misdemeanor charges.

Of the eight, five people — Riley K. McDaniel, 21; Alessandro Medina-Villanueva, 21; Jason B. Mulgrew, 21; Christian G. Rohrbach, 22 and Sheikhzad — were charged with unlawful hazing of a student. The other three — Benjamin J. Corado, 19; Quinn A. Kuby, 22; and Colin G. Tran, 20 — face the same charge, but were also charged with purchasing or giving alcohol to a minor.
