Robert Rozier
 

 

 

 

 

As a football player, Rozier was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals and later did time with the Oakland Raiders.

In 1981, he lost his will to play the game, and after drifting around the country, he joined a radical black-supremacist Hebrew Israelite sect called the Temple of Love. The cult, led byYahweh ben Yahweh is believed to be responsible for fourteen deaths and a series of firebombings. Rozier, perhaps due to his football background, was the muscle of the cult. In 1986 he was arrested for the murders of two ex members.

Evidence also linked him to at least two other random killings unrelated to the sect.
