A fallen Alpha Brother

I got this from KAZO this morning. I don't know Rob's full name, but I know he was from Memphis.

I was just informed that brother Robert, aka APAcalypse (Ramses IV) just suffered a tragic and fatal auto accident. Please keep his family and friends in your prayers.

I'm sorry to hear of this tragedy. I pray that God will send strength to this brother's family and those that knew him personally.

The only details I have at this point is that the accident happened as he was exiting a freeway. The car was totaled and he died at the scene. Any Memphis Alphas on here?

Thank you for sharing.

His name was Robert Foster. He was a 2001 initiate of the Nu Upsilon Chapter at The University of Mississippi. He was a chapter brother and dear friend. Please keep his family, friends, chapter, and brothers in your prayers.

Police were trying to determine what caused the crash that killed a 28-year-old Memphis man early Wednesday at Shelby Drive and Interstate 55.

Between 12:45 p.m. and 1 a.m. a 2003 Jeep Cherokee driven by Robert Foster went off the ramp leading from I-55 to eastbound Shelby Drive lanes.

The Jeep struck two trees, then came to rest after striking a third, police said.

Foster, who was the only occupant of the vehicle, was killed immediately.

There were no witnesses to the crash, said Memphis Police spokesman Sgt. Vince Higgins.. [/B]

Clearly, somebody didn't do their job on the copy desk. I knew people at the Commercial Appeal back in the days, and they do have black newsroom professionals. SMH.
