The cricket club where Barnaby Webber, from Taunton, used to play is to host a match in his memory next week.
Barnaby, who was a first year student at the University of Nottingham, was killed in Nottingham alongside fellow student Grace O'Malley-Kumar on Ilkeston Road on Tuesday morning.
They were found at around 4am - and were both 19 years old.
Shortly after, 65-year-old school caretaker Ian Coates was then killed on Magdala Road in the city after his van was allegedly stolen.
Calocane is alleged to have used the van to drive at a pedestrian in Milton Street and a further two people in South Sherwood Street.
The IOPC said the driver of a marked police car had sight of the vehicle for "less than a minute" before it collided with the pedestrians in South Sherwood Street.
Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust said two patients are stable and one has been discharged following the van incidents.
An 'irreplaceable teammate and friend'
Yesterday (June 17), a candle-lit vigil took place in his memory at St Peter and St Paul's Church.
Barnaby was a keen cricketer - he played on the University of Nottingham team, and was in the 1st Team squad at Bishops Hull Cricket Club.
They have called him an 'irreplaceable teammate and friend' on social media, and have arranged for Barnaby's memorial game for June 24, at 1.30pm, with the money raised to be put towards a permanent memorial at the club for him.
It will be captained by his closest friends, Ed Smith and Jakarta Allen-Skinner, it has been announced.
In a statement on Twitter, the cricket club added: "We would love to see as many people as possible come along to join us in celebrating a wonderful life through something he loved, cricket.
"BBQ and drinks on offer, all money raised will be put towards a permanent memorial at the club for Barnaby."
