Three suspects pled guilty to the attempted murder of a former CSUS student last week.

Pape Kama, 24, lay in a coma for over a month after sustaining injuries from two wooden chair legs used to beat him unconcious during an arguement stemming from a disagreement over a pick-up basketball game in the North Gym in January.

Sheldon Williams, Michael Williams (no relation) and Shawn Edwards, all 26, are awaiting sentencing, which is scheduled for November 13.

According to University Police, the investigation into the incident took two weeks and the department worked long hours to find the perpetrators. Details and descriptions to investigators were sparse, despite 20 people in the gym during the assault.

Not one witness came forward in assistance, said investigating officer Vic Vinson
