A New Jersey man has been indicted in the death of Jason Ray, the UNC student killed in 2007 while walking along a busy roadway in northern New Jersey.
Ray was the popular UNC student who proudly donned the Rameses costume for football and basketball games. He was in New Jersey in March 2007 with the Tar Heels men's basketball team, and was struck by an SUV driven by Armen Hovsepian, a Paramus, NJ resident who was driving with a suspended license.
Ray's death hit hard in Chapel Hill, where Ray was well-liked and widely known. In death, he did some good. His organs and tissue were donated, and about 80 people benefited, including a diabetic who, after nine years of dialysis, received Ray's kidney and pancreas.
His life was also the subject of a feature story on ESPN and a multimedia project on ESPN.com.
