Tribute for Navajo student killed in Arizona

Students at Arizona State University are paying tribute to Byron Ray Yellowhair, a member of the Navajo Nation who was killed in an accident on May 29.

Yellowhair, who would have turned 25 today, was one year away from graduating. His mother, Brenda Yellowhair, will be given his degree posthumously during a memorial service today.

On the reservation, Yellowhair excelled in academics. But some friends said he struggled with alcohol and anger issues during his years at college.
