Marissa Plakosh
June 22, 1989 - December 15th, 2007

The stunning news of an Ohio State student shot and killed on Saturday has deeply affected many Buckeyes. 

Recently a website was put up to honor the OSU freshman. On the site, people are invited to post warm memories and pictures from the past.

The family is setting up a scholarship in Marissa's memory. Anyone from Poland, Ohio (Marissa's birthplace) planning on attending OSU will be eligible. The website offers a contact on how to make donations.

The police have ruled the death an accident. The Plakosh neighbor, Daniel Buccino, was handling a 9mm pistol when it went off and hit Marissa in the neck. Buccino, age 20, is going to be charged with negligent homocide. He could be charged with up to 5 years in jail.
