Jevon Hollywood (Born Jevon Hotchkiss)
DOB Unknown – August 1, 2011

Jevon Hollywood was a popular radio disc jockey, most recently heard on Detroit top-40 station, WDTW-FM (106.7 The Beat).  In his early days at the station, Hollywood built a following as an intern for on-air personality, Lisa Lisa.  He eventually landed his own program, the “Late Show,” which aired from 10pm to 1am throughout the week.  He was also a popular draw at station events around town.  Early reports indicated that Hollywood was walking along the shoulder of  a Novi, Michigan-area road (just northeast of Detroit) near his home around 5:30 am, when he was struck by a 61-year-old driver.  The apparent accident occurred on  July 28, with Hollywood ultimately dying of his injuries on August 1, 2011.  He was 34.
