As an utterly devoted admirer putting aside my adoration for a moment, I must address the heartbreaking news that actor Akili McDowell stands accused of murder. The tragic incident occurred in Houston, Texas on July 20, where he’s been charged with the shooting death of a 20-year-old man. It’s hard to reconcile the captivating characters he brought to life with these sobering allegations. My thoughts are with all those affected by this devastating turn of events.
