According to several reports, Noah Green, 25, played football and ran at Glenville State College before transferring to Christopher Newport University in Virginia. He graduated in finance from CNU in 2019.
Green was born in Fairlea, West Virginia and grew up near Covington, Va. Court records show that he sent a request to a court in Marion County, Indiana, to change his name from Noah Ricardo Green to Noah Zaeem Muhammad in December 2019. Green did not make him attend the hearing scheduled for last week.
Green reportedly drove his car against the North Barricade at the United States Capitol, hitting two Capitol police officers. According to the agency, Verde got out of the vehicle with a knife and ran towards other policemen, who shot him. Green died in a Washington, DC hospital.
Officer Billy Evans, an 18-year veteran of the Capitol police force, died of injuries from the collision.
Authorities are still trying to determine why.
Governor Jim Justice, at Joe Biden’s request, issued a proclamation to fly all United States and state flags on state property with half a worker by Tuesday night.
Several members of the state Congressional delegation reacted to the incident.
