About Murder Of Ennis Cosby
- Ennis William Cosby (April 15, 1969 – January 16, 1997) was the only son of American comedian Bill Cosby.
- On January 16, 1997, Cosby was murdered near Interstate 405 in Los Angeles, California.
- He was shot in the head by 18-year-old Mikhail Markhasev in a failed robbery attempt.
- Cosby's death resulted in significant media coverage, public outrage and an outpouring of support for the Cosby family.
- Seeking the $100,000 reward offered by the National Enquirer, an acquaintance of the shooter provided information that led to Markhasev's arrest in March 1997.
- Subsequently, Markhasev was tried and convicted of first-degree murder and attempted robbery on July 7, 1998, and was sentenced to life in prison the following month.
- Markhasev maintained his innocence until 2001, when he admitted to committing the murder and asked that appeals in his case stop.
