Virginia Lacrosse Player Accused of Killing Female Athlete He Once Dated

A University of Virginia men's lacrosse player has been charged in the murder of a women's lacrosse player at the same school, law enforcement officials confirmed to FoxNews.com. George Huguely, 22, of Chevy Chase, Md., was charged in the death of Yeardley Love, 22, of Cockeysville, Md., Charlottesville police said Monday. Various sources are reporting that the victim and the suspect had once dated, but that is the only connection that's been established at this time. According to the Fox News report, Lt. Gary Pleasants of the Charlottesville police said Love's roommate called police around 2:15 a.m. to report that the young woman may have had an alcohol overdose. However, upon arriving, the officers observed that Love had already passed away, with "visible injuries to her body."

Police confirmed that Huguely was arrested in his apartment today, although they would not say what led them there.

So tragic... a beautiful young woman with a promising future, gone for what?
