A grand jury indicted a Paramus, N.J., man Monday in connection with the March 2007 car accident that took the life of Jason Ray, the North Carolina student who performed as the school's Tar Heels mascot, The Record of Hackensack, N.J., reported.
Bergen County prosecutors said Armen Hovsepian's driver's license was suspended when the SUV he was driving struck Ray as he walked along the shoulder of Route 4 in Fort Lee on March 23, 2007, according to the report. Ray was in New Jersey with the Tar Heels at the NCAA Eastern Regional final, which was being played at the Izod Center in East Rutherford.

Ray, 21, was pronounced dead three days later.
Hovsepian's father, Gajik, 52, had told police that he was the one who was driving the SUV. Based on his statements, investigators at the time ruled the crash accidental.
But several months later, investigators received a tip from a witness who said Armen Hovsepian, 21, was behind the wheel, according to the report.

this sounds really sad, but for some reason i have a habit of thinking of funny things when the worst situations happen (ofcoruse when im not there). What if the guy was wearing the TarHeels mascot uniform at the time of the crash? Black Humor they call it, but it makes me laugh. or should i be more like .

I understand where you are coming from but that was a hard time for the Tarheel family. We were playing in the NCAA tournament and you learn that a senior that was at the last tournament in the Ramses costume, is killed. It was tough to swallow. I really hope that there is some closure to this.
