Family

American noted family, the son of Bill and Camille Cosby. On 1/16/1997, Bel Air, CA, he stopped on a freeway off-ramp to fix a flat tire at about 1:00 AM and was shot to death by an unknown gunman by one bullet to the head, apparently robbery. He was driving a $137,000 Mercedes-Benz convertible. He called a friend to tell her he was stopping and she called the cops at 1:45 AM PST. The boy whom his dad call "my hero," had a life full of promise. He graduated from Morehouse school with honors in 1992. While at school, he and his dad talked on the phone every day, working on situations for the Cosby Show's TV son, Theo. He was handsome enough to do some modeling and had his sights set on becoming a teacher. Ennis was a Ph.D. candidate in special education at Columbia University. In college, he had been diagnosed with dyslexia. After he got therapy, his grades soared, and he worked with reading-disabled students, especially those from impoverished backgrounds. Mikail Markhasev, an 18-year-old immigrant was indicted on 4/11/1997 for the murder of Ennis Cosby and convicted on 7/07/1998. He dropped his appeal on 2/09/2001, admitting his guilt and apologizing to the family. Link to Wikipedia biography
