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.
