Vincent Binder Obituary
In a news conference, city police declined to make public the cause of Binder's death. They said, however, that the medical examiner's office ruled it a homicide.
It wasn't immediately clear whether homicide charges have been filed against Quentin Truehill, Peter Hughes and Kentrell Johnson, who escaped from a Louisiana jail before heading for Florida.
The trio apparently came across Binder, a Florida State University graduate student, on a street after midnight on April 2, kidnapped him, drove him to St. Augustine and killed him.

Dear Vincent,
I first heard the news of your passing today. My heart is forever broken. Vincent you were always a kind, caring and intelligent soul. You were truly loved by your family at Elementary School PS 95 in Brooklyn NY. I will always remember you teaching ME about the "starboard" and "port" sides a boat when you were my student in 2nd grade. It was an honor to be a part of your life even for just a short amount of time. I wish for you, an eternity of peace and love forever with the Lord.

I have been praying that your son would be returned safely, sad to hear our prayers weren't answered but he is definetly safe now. I am a mother of a freshman @ FSU and have followed the story once it was posted on FSU Police Alert Bulletin Board and prayed he was going to come home unharmed. There are no words to ease the pain, but I am deeply sorry for your loss. He is safe now. God Bless you and your family.

I hoped and prayed for Vince's safe return. I am very sad and very sorry. Being a concerned mother of an FSU grad student it could have just as easily been any of our children and we can only hope in justice for him.

It was really sad to read about what happened to your dear loved one Vincent. The Bible tells us that one day soon Our Heavenly Father is going to wipe out all sorrow, tears, and death. We all look forward to the time when we will see our dear loved ones again. I offer my sincere condolences to you all.

I did not know Vince but many of my friends did. They say he was a great kind guy whose smile would light up the room. I have been following this since I heard about it while up in Tally on a visit. My prayers and heartfelt sympathy goes out to Vince's family and many friends he had. RIP
