Ron Goldman spent the early part of his much-too-brief life in Illinois. He moved to California in the late 1980s after briefly attending Illinois State University. There Goldman eventually found work as a waiter for Mezzaluna, a Brentwood restaurant. He was murdered along with friend Nicole Brown Simpson outside of Simpson’s home on the night of June 12, 1994.
Former pro football player and Nicole’s ex-husband O.J. Simpson was charged with the killings, but he was acquitted in this case. Goldman’s family later won a civil suit against O.J. for Ron’s death.
O.J. Simpson was born in 1947 in San Francisco, California. He became a college football superstar at USC, winning the Heisman Trophy in 1968, and later enjoyed a record-setting career in the NFL and tremendous popularity among his fans.
Amid a moderately successful post-playing career as an actor and broadcaster, Simpson was charged in 1994 for killing his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ron Goldman. He was acquitted in a high-profile criminal trial, though he was found liable for their deaths in civil court. Simpson later was sentenced to up to 33 years in prison in 2008 for kidnapping and armed robbery. In July 2017, he was granted parole and is expected to be set free on or around October 1st.
