Terrible tragedies that touch the stars of the show
The only son of Bill, Ennis Cosby, returned to Los Angeles on the winter break of studying to achieve his doctorate in special education at Columbia University in New York when the unthinkable took place.
The 27-year-old drove home from visiting friends in the early hours of January 16, 1997, when his Mercedes got a flat tire and he pulled the 405 highway in the Sepulveda pass. He was shot in the head and killed in a failed robbery attempt.
Ennis called his girlfriend, Stephan Crane, who arrived and saw him change the band when a man reportedly came to her window and said, “Open the door or I will hurt you.”
She got scared and drove a short distance on the road when she heard the shot that her boyfriend was killing.
In his first interview weeks after the murder of his son, Bill revealed that his son was buried in a garden in the house of the family in Massachusetts.
“I always thought that if someone would kill one of my children, I mean, I would get five 357 Magnums. Then you start to think about the person you love who is gone, and then that part of them comes to you and says:” Hey daddy, you have to go back to work. “And you start to laugh.
Crane collaborated with a sketch artist to describe the man she saw by her window that fatal night, and the display was spread wide. In March 1997, the police arrested Mikhail “Michael” Markhasev, an 18-year-old who had emigrated from Ukraine. His trial began in July 1998, where a letter he wrote of the prison was introduced, was introduced as proof that read: “I shot the n —–. I went to Rob A [drug] Connection and clearly found something else. “
Markhasev was ultimately convicted and convicted of life without the possibility of conditional release. He later apologized in a letter from prison in 2001 and wrote: “I am guilty and I want to do the right thing … More than anything else, I want to apologize to the family of the victim. It is my duty as a Christian, and it is the least I can do, after the great badness for which I am responsible.”
