Winans is surely singing God’s praises that he was able to get away with this life. Bill Cosby’s son Ennis wasn’t so fortunate in 1997. He was murdered during a robbery attempt while he was changing a tire along a major freeway in the affluent Bel Air area of Los Angeles.
And, Michael Jordan’s father James R. Jordan Sr. who in 1993 was shot point-blank in the chest just moments after he woke from a nap. He pulled his red Lexus over on the side of the road in Lumberton, NC. The assailants wanted to steal the car, but decided otherwise after rifling through his pockets and discovering a watch that was inscribed with a note that read: “To Dad, from Michael and Juanita.”
