An employee for food services company Aramark has been identified as one of the two victims who were killed in Thursday’s Florida State University shooting.

The Aramark employee, identified by family as Robert Morales, was shot dead when 20-year-old FSU student Phoenix Ikner allegedly opened fire at the Tallahassee campus on Thursday afternoon, killing two people and wounding six others.

“We are heartbroken to confirm that an Aramark employee was among those killed at FSU yesterday in that senseless act of violence,” an Aramark spokesperson told WPTV in a statement.
