The Oxford Police Department issued the following statement and mug shot.
This morning at 8:30 AM, Seth Rokitka was taken into custody. His truck was found wrecked in Marshall County. It has since been recovered and impounded. After he has been formally charged we will update with further information.
We can't express enough thanks and gratitude to the community, business owners, and our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners on their assistance.

Bet he isn't feeling so tough this morning.
Parchman will not be fun.
Per his still active Facebook, he's an electrician in the Memphis area, sporting a nice solepatch goatee. Doesn't appear to be an Ole Miss student, just some try-hard in town for the game.
His whole life ruined, over a spontaneous tough guy response.
Learn to ignore and walk away
The world's full of idiots like this.
For some reason I have a hunch that a mixture of xanax and alcohol were involved in this stupid young man's decisions. Xanax is passed around like candy amongst the young people in Oxford. SO many fights, DUI's, rapes, etc. are caused by these kids mixing xanax and alcohol.
Like how everyone has already convicted dude of murder. It could have been an accident where he fled instead of stopping to help. Not excusing it but I think folks need to hold they horses till all fact come out.
I hope that this cold blooded murderer gets the death penalty!
You do NOT come into Mississippi and kill an Ole Miss student and get away with it!

You obviously haven't been following this.
Accident? OK. Sure. You need to study up on this event a bit more.
Plus see the disclaimer on the very first post.
@10:14 is this your first day here? This is the kind of stuff that KF and his loyal followers get their rocks off on. Click, click, click away.
@ 9:41 From a lot of us at MSU we agree with you 100%.
If true about xanax at ole miss, that is a recipe for death. I knew someone who overdosed on xanax and alcohol in high school. He was 18 and a freshman in college at the time I believe. Couple years older than me. Tragic. His family never recovered.
The Parchman cons will be fighting over pretty boy.

To paraphrase a 19th century judge: "Now remember, we'll give him a fair trial before we hang him."
The entire state mourns this loss. We know our own children and grandchildren are exposed to dangers, even in small towns.
May these families be comforted, as they grieve.
