Ironically, Wilson is the fifth tragedy that has occurred from the “Moesha” show whom many say is jinxed.  Star Brandy Norwood struck and killed a woman with her vehicleMerlin Santana, who played Moesha’s first boyfriend, “Ohaji,” was only 26 years young when he was shot dead in California as he sat in the passenger seat of a car.  Comedian Bernie Mac, who had the recurring role of “Uncle Mitchell” and was Andell’s boyfriend, died in 2008 from complications of pneumonia.  The ever-popular “Hakeem,” Moesha’s sidekick who was played by Lamont Bentley, was killed in a car crash more than 6 years ago.
