First off T&P for his family and the Auburn family. No one should ever have to bury a young man. And certainly not like this.
I can't speak for UK outside of the Wildcat Den for basketball, but I know at UofL and even Bellarmine (D-2) here if you're an underclassmen you have to live at specific dorms on campus with majority athletes. Is this the complex for them? Or does Auburn not do that?

We have brand new dorms for the athletes that they're required to live in until they're seniors. That might even change in light of this.
It was most likely a graduation party of some kind that went south.

AU just built a nice new football dorm on campus, that all but some seniors are required to live in.
The issue with The Exchange/University Heights/Tiger Lodge (they've changed the name a thousand times), as has been mentioned, is that it's right off of Highway 29 that runs between Auburn and Tuskegee. Tuskegee's campus is nice, all things considered, but the rest of the city is 100% ghetto. Which has led to a number of Tuskegee students living in Auburn and commuting.
So you wind up with a lot of "low income" commuter students in the area. And a lot of times there will be these huge parties at these apartment complexes (though Tiger Lodge is the only one I've heard about specifically), that also bring in thugs from Columbus and Montgomery - so most of the people at these parties aren't from/attending Auburn to begin with.
It's a sticky situation that I'm not sure how you clean up.
