CLEMSON, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - Loved ones of a Clemson student who died during a pledge run are coming together for a vigil.

Friday marks nine years since the passing of Tucker Hipps. He was just 19 years old and pledging Sigma Phi Epsilon when he died in 2014.

Hipps’ parents say he died during a hazing incident and have been fighting for answers ever since.

A vigil will be held Friday morning at the site of his death on a bridge along Highway 314.
