Police say 18 year old Josiah Kilman was found unresponsive in his Campbellsville university dorm room early Saturday morning.
He was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Tillman was a freshman from Montana and was on the wrestling team at the private Christian University.
The suspect, 21 year old Charles, a scholar from Oklahoma, Emma was once on the same wrestling team.
Other details, including a possible motive, have not been released.
Speaking on the Senate floor this afternoon, state Republican Senator Max Wise, who represents Campbellsville and is a Campbellsville University alum, reflected on the tragic news as president.
I did not know Mr. Josiah Kilman, but from every report that I know of my friends in Campbellsville and it came was the university.
He was a model student athlete.
He was an 18 year old from the state of Montana who came to Campbellsville on a scholarship to wrestle, but also, most importantly, a scholarship for a Christian studies major.
The last thing you would ever think of when doing a Google search of Campbellsville University would be murder.
Mostly, it's for record breaking enrollment.
Mostly it's for sports accolades.
It's for alums that have successfully gone into various professions.
But unfortunately, with this situation, we've got an ongoing investigation and a situation that is just unspeakable.
And I say all this because I ask for this chamber's prayers of peace and comfort and strength to an encompassing Christian university and to the families of both victims.
In a statement, University President Joseph Hopkins said, quote, Josiah Kilman was a beloved member of our community.
He was a bright light and a person of incredible hope.
This is an incredibly difficult time for our community to gather in unity and love.
We will honor his legacy and continue to support one another.
End quote.
The university enrolls about 1200 students in Campbellsville and about 11,000 systemwide.
