Three victims, Arielle Diamond Anderson, a junior, Brian Fraser, a sophomore, and Alexandria Verner, a junior, were killed in the shooting. Earlier this month, MSU officials said the three will receive posthumous degrees.
Law enforcement officials at the university said the shooter - Anthony Dwayne McRae - had no obvious affiliation with the school.
Chris Rozman, the university's interim deputy chief of police and public safety, said McRae was neither a current nor former student, nor a faculty member at Michigan State.
McRae was previously sentenced to 12 months probation on a weapons charge, according to the Michigan Department of Corrections. Arrest records show he was convicted and ultimately sentenced in November 2019 for possessing a loaded firearm inside a vehicle, which is illegal in Michigan without a concealed carry license. He was discharged in May 2021.
McRae took his own life after a three-hour standoff, police said.
