Lloyd Avery II was an up and coming actor who was murdered in 2005 by his prison cellmate for a Satanic ritual. He was known for acting in several well known films, including Boyz n The Hood (1991) and Poetic Justice (1993).

Lloyd Fernandez Avery Jr. was born in Los Angeles, California on June 21, 1969 and attended Beverly Hills High School. At 22, he had his debut in the film Boyz n The Hood, acting as a rival gang member who kills one of the movie’s main characters and is later killed in retaliation. After starring in his first film, Lloyd went on to star in several more films in the 90s and early 2000s before his life took a turn towards crime.

Lloyd started to become more involved in Los Angeles’s gang life in the early 2000s. Soon after he finished filming for the movie Shot (2001), Lloyd was arrested for the murders of 2 rival gang members. He was charged with a double homicide and was sentenced to life in prison.

While in prison, Lloyd chose to turn his life over to Christ and became very involved with the prison’s church. Lloyd was later sent over to Pelican Bay State Prison to continue serving his sentence, where his cellmate was Kevin Roby. Kevin Roby was a Satan worshipper and had paranoid Schizophrenia. He was sentenced to life in prison for the sexual assault and murder of his sister, which he stated was an “attempt to appease Satan.”

As he continued his religious studies, Lloyd would often try to spread the word of God. He was warned not to do this, as it could anger some of the other prisoners, but Lloyd continued. Some believe that this is what triggered Kevin to attack Lloyd.

On September 4, 2005, Kevin Roby attacked Lloyd Avery II. He hit Lloyd over the head with an object and strangled him to death. Kevin then used Lloyd’s body in a human sacrifice. 2 days after the murder, guards found Lloyd’s mutilated body in the cell laying over a pentagram drawn in his own blood. Kevin Roby then got another life sentence added to his time.

Lloyd Avery’s family blamed the prison for negligence in Lloyd’s murder because they felt that he and Kevin should have never been placed in the same cell to begin with. They had incredibly conflicting beliefs, so it should have been known that putting them in the same cell together would cause conflict. Kevin himself even told guards repeatedly that he didn’t like having Christian cellmates. He went on to sue Pelican Bay Prison for putting Lloyd in the same cell as him after he told them not to. It was also noted that Lloyd’s body shouldn’t have taken as long as it did to be found because each prisoner is supposed to be counted for every day.

Though many people recognize Lloyd Avery II for the well known films he starred in, not many people know about his death. Or they at least don’t know the details or brutality of his murder.

Merlin Santana (March 14, 1976 - November 9, 2002), was a Dominican American television and film actor best known for his role as teenager Romeo on The Steve Harvey Show. He also played Rudy's boyfriend Stanley on The Cosby Show.

Merlin Santana was born in Washington Heights, Manhattan, New York, United States to parents from the Dominican Republic. He attended Acenscion Catholic School in New York. His career in show business began with a push from his mother, who recognized her son's talent and wanted to keep him off the tough streets of New York. He began his career at the age of three as an advertising model for a fast food chain. His first screen appearance was as an extra in the Woody Allen film The Purple Rose of Cairo.

He later landed the recurring role of Stanley, the faithful admirer of young Rudy Huxtable (and romantic rival of Rudy's friend Kenny), on the hit comedy series "The Cosby Show." Santana was then cast as a sharp-tongued 15-year-old in the comedy series Getting By, starring Cindy Williams and Telma Hopkins. His brother was portrayed by Deon Richmond, who played Kenny on The Cosby Show.

He chose to keep his last name of Santana to represent his Afro-Latino heritage. One episode of The Steve Harvey Show marked the first time when Afro-Latinos communicated in Spanish on a commercial network. The episode was about Romeo being taken out of school by his father.

He played Romeo Santana on The Steve Harvey Show for the WB. This is probably around the same time that he got a tattoo on his chest. He proudly represented the small number of Latino actors in the television industry.

He appeared in the VH1 movie Play'd with Toni Braxton and Rashaan Nall as a rapper and had a role in Eddie Murphy's Showtime. His last television acting role was on Half & Half as a singer.

His last film role was Carlos in The Blues with his former television brother, Deon Richmond. It was filmed months before his death.

On November 9, 2002, Santana died after being shot in the head while sitting in the passenger seat of a friend’s car. He was 26 years old.

At 2:30 AM that day, Merlin was sitting in a parked car and a person approached the car and shot him (six times, according to one source). He died before any help could arrive. The public did not find out about the shooting until Monday morning. A woman was arrested early on Monday for possible connections to the murder. She was later charged. He was buried on November 18, 2002, and left behind a now 11 year old daughter.

Damien Andre Gates was convicted of the first-degree murder of Santana and the attempted murder of another man in the car, and was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences plus 70 years in prison. Brandon Douglas Bynes received 23 years' imprisonment after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter and assault with a deadly weapon. An officer involved in the case testified that Monique King, reportedly the girlfriend of Gates and aged 15 at the time of Santana's death, falsely claimed that Santana had tried to rape her, which prompted Gates and Bynes to attack the car. King received eight years in juvenile custody.

The oracle from first Matrix film:

Distinguished African-American actress Gloria Foster studied at the Goodman Theatre, making her earliest professional appearances with the University of Chicago County Theater. Foster's first Broadway role was Ruth in Lorraine Hansbury's Raisin in the Sun. In 1963, she appeared in the powerful dramatic review In White America, earning an Obie Award as well as a two-page spread in Life Magazine.


The following year, she was honored with a Theatre World award for her portrayal of Medea, one of dozens of classic stage roles to her credit. She made her film bow in 1963's The Cool World, followed by a sizeable role opposite Ivan Dixon in the critically acclaimed Nothing But a Man.

She later co-starred with Bill Cosby (To All My Friends on Shore, Leonard Part 6) and Sidney Poitier (Separate but Equal). Gloria Foster's many television credits include two guest appearances on The Mod Squad, co-starring with her then-husband, actor/director Clarence Williams III.

Though her film roles remained relatively scarce throughout the 1990s, Foster's role as The Oracle in the 1999 metaphysical sci-fi smash The Matrix proved a welcome sight to fans who hadn't seen her since her 1993 television effort Percy and Thunder. Returning to the role for 2003's The Matrix Reloaded, Foster sadly died of diabetes before completing all of her scenes for the film (and having not even begun shooting her scenes for the same year's The Matrix Revolutions). She was 64

It's a small world, RIP to all of them. I was wondering who was left, thanks for clearing that up for me. I hope Stevie D can live a long life so he can tell their collective story.

edit: I found this~~~


 
I used to watch the actual live actual show of Carmen San Diego as a kid. One of the very few shows my momma let me watch. She had a very distinctive voice. Remember when she died. I was kinda hurt because she was a staple of the show. She’d always say to the winners “gum shoes, I salute you!” Made me happy to see a sistah who had excellent English and didn’t sound ghetto.

Man, I've never watched a full show of Carmen San Diego, but I know that voice from the clips I've seen. I'm just now finding out that she died. Sad, RIP.
