Rick Ross Son Taking Online Courses After Being Pistol-Whipped On Campus

Tia Kemp says her son is bouncing back after the violent attack near Bethune-Cookman University left him shaken but determined to move forward with his education.

William Roberts III was struck with a handgun on October 11 when a 20-year-old man confronted him over a woman, but the family’s response has shifted focus entirely toward institutional accountability rather than the individual assault.

“He’s pursuing his masters online,” Kemp explained in a recent interview, emphasizing how quickly she pulled her son from campus after the incident. “I definitely got him back home and he’s pursuing his masters online. They was able to give him his classes online. He would not step foot back over.”

The university accommodated the transition, allowing William to continue his graduate studies remotely while the family processes what happened.

Kemp’s legal strategy isn’t aimed at the alleged attacker or even the public figures inserting themselves into the situation. She holds the city of Daytona and Bethune-Cookman University directly responsible for what she sees as a massive security failure.

“The city of Daytona with Cookman University. Yeah, we are coming. Cuz that’s a major security issue,” Kemp stated firmly, making her position crystal clear about where accountability lies.

When asked whether the conflict would ever reach resolution, Kemp’s response was unambiguous.
