UNC transplant clinic renamed to honor former Tar Heel student mascot
Posted Apr 16, 2016
The UNC Transplant Clinic was renamed Saturday to honor a former student who was killed in 2007 (Video). Jason Ray performed as the UNC mascot, Rameses, for three seasons before he was killed. He was hit from behind while walking on a highway shoulder near his hotel in Fort Lee after going to a nearby convenience store while in New Jersey for the NCAA Tournament.
