Barnaby Webber and Grace Kumar, both 19-year-old students at the University of Nottingham, and Ian Coates, 65, a school janitor, were fatally stabbed.
Coates was later found dead from knife injuries on Magdala Road by a member of the public, police said.
Police responded to a "major incident" in Nottingham city center early Tuesday morning.
“Barnaby Philip John Webber was a beautiful, brilliant, bright young man, with everything in life to look forward to,” his family said.
“At 19 he was just at the start of his journey into adulthood and was developing into a wonderful young man,” the family added.
