This is the second individual to be murdered at the 17-year-old Hopewell High School.
In 2010, 32-year-old New Testament Church of God Minister Keaven Dixon was shot and killed on the compound by a gunman posing as a parent.
Reverend Dixon had gone to the school to collect his job confirmation letter to take up a teaching post at the institution.
