Troubled youth takes his life in dorm room
Jeremy Warren will no longer have to live with the memory of the accident that took his girlfriend's life last April, or stand trial this month for her death.
The troubled youth meted out his own sentence when he took his life Monday evening in his dormitory room at West Texas State University.
Funeral services will be held today (Thursday) in the First Baptist Church of Dimmitt.
Warren's body reportedly was discovered by his roommate about 7:45 p.m. Monday in his room at WTSU's Jarrett Hall. University police were notified at 7:55, according to WTSU's Communications Services.
City of Canyon paramedics also responded to the call, but were unable to resuscitate the 19-year-old Dimmitt youth, WTSU officials said.
Randall County Justice of the Peace E. Jay Hail pronounced Warren dead at 8:22 p.m. and ordered an autopsy, which was performed in Amarillo Tuesday by Dr. Ralph Erdmann, After the autopsy, Hail ruled the death a suicide by hanging.
Warren, son of Don and Carlie Warren of Dimmitt, was a freshman accounting major. He had started college under a legal cloud after being indicted May 10 on a third-degree felony charge of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the April 9 death of Shandi Ann McLain, 17-year-old Hart High School junior.
The two youths had been to a party at a rural gathering spot known as "The Forest" during Dimmitt High School's traditional "cup night" for seniors, and were en route to town on an unpaved county road when Warren's pickup ran off the road, then overturned. Miss McLain was killed instantly.
A month later, the 64th District Court Grand Jury indicted Warren for involuntary manslaughter, a third-degree felony that stipulates a sentence of two to 10 years' imprisonment and a fine of up to $2,000 upon conviction.
His trial was scheduled for the week of Feb. 20 in 64th District Court here, according to District Attorney Jimmy Davis. Meanwhile, Warren was free on $7,500 bond while attending college and awaiting trial.
Hail said Warren left a note on his bed that "was basically about how much he missed her (Miss McLain) and how he didn't want to go on without her. It was pretty apparent from the note that he had never gotten over her death.
"I think it was an act of grief for her, rather than an act of fear about the trial that caused him to do it," Hail said. "At the bottom of the note he had written a phrase in Latin, In perpetuum (forever). I think even if he hadn't been charged with the responsibility of her death, he would have been in the same state of mind."
Hail said Warren's best friend told him the grieving youth had talked about suicide before but had been talked out of it.
Warren left his wallet, opened at a picture of Miss McLain, on top of the note on his bed, Hail said.
Warren, who was born in Dimmitt, graduated in May from Dimmitt High School, where he was known as a bright student in the classroom and an intense competitor on the basketball court.
He was a starter on three DHS basketball teams that advance to the state tournament, earning all-district honors all three years. He also was named to the all-regional tournament team and the All-South Plains team last season.
While in high school, Warren also was active in the Key Club, Interact Club, Office Education Association and FHA.
