Samuel Monroe Jr., remembered for antagonist roles in Menace II Society, Tales from the Hood, Set It Off, Don’t Be a Menace, and The Players Club, passed away at 52 after months fighting meningitis.
The infection was misdiagnosed, leading to MRSA pneumonia, seizures, brain swelling, and surgeries, as shared by his mother Joyce Patton.
She thanked supporters and asked for continued prayers for his three children and family, prompting tributes from fans who called him a staple of ’90s urban cinema.
