FAMU Update: Champion’s death ruled a homicide; Ammons considers stepping down

Excerpt:

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- The FAMU Marching 100 drum major who died last month in Orlando was a homicide victim, according to the Orange-Osceola Medical Examiner’s Office. The information was released Friday after a meeting between Governor Rick Scott and Florida A&M University President James Ammons. It also came shortly after we learned of a reported molestation at FAMU’s K-12 school last May.



An 18-year-old graduate of FAMU Developmental Research School was arrested by FDLE agents in October for allegedly molesting an 8-year-old in a school bathroom last May. Ralph Monroe II (from Midway, FL) was arrested in Alabama, where he attends Stillman College on a football scholarship. The governor had alluded to another reason why Ammons should be suspended during the protest outside the mansion, but wouldn’t elaborate. FDLE released its report on the molestation shortly after Scott spoke to reporters Friday afternoon.
