At approximately 12 a.m. on Tuesday, September 20, 2016, a Gustavus student was walking on Ring Road toward Rundstrom Hall when a car with two passengers approached. One of the individuals in the car was wearing a baseball hat. An individual in the car yelled a homophobic slur directed at the walking student.

The car is described as a black four-door SUV with a red Gustavus parking sticker on the back bumper.
