According to ESPN, the police called the shooting a random act committed by "three 'bored' teenagers who decided to kill someone for the fun of it."

Lane, who was visiting his girlfriend who lives about 90 miles away from Oklahoma State's campus, went for a run and became the random target of the teenagers.

Police Chief Danny Ford said one of the suspects has given a full confession. Ford described the incident:

"They saw Christopher go by, and one of them said: 'There's our target.' The boy who has talked to us said: 'We were bored and didn't have anything to do, so we decided to kill somebody.' They followed him in the car to that area, shot him in the back and drove off."
