Ennis Sisters

Ennis Cosby (April 15, 1969 – January 16, 1997) was the son of actor Bill Cosby and Camille Hanks. He had four sisters.

Cosby aspired to become a special education teacher after he overcame dyslexia. While he was a student at Teachers College, Columbia University, Cosby was murdered by a man named Mikhail Markhasev on January 16, 1997, in Los Angeles, California. He was 27 years old.

Cosby had pulled his Mercedes to the side of Interstate 405 to change a flat tire when he was confronted by Markhasev. According to prosecutors, Markhasev demanded money from Cosby, and then shot him in the head and fled the scene.

While the prosecutors stated that the case was very circumstantial, and that the verdict could have gone either way, Markhasev confessed his guilt after his conviction, because, in his own words, he "wanted to do the right thing … More than anything, {he} wanted to apologize to the victim's family." Markhasev is serving a life sentence in San Quentin State Prison without the possibility of parole.

Cosby graduated from George School, Newtown, Pennsylvania, and Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia.

In 2000, Bill Cosby started a scholarship in Ennis Cosby's name at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
