Champion died in November following what authorities said was a hazing incident on a bus after FAMU's football game in Orlando. An autopsy report detailed repeated blows to Champion's body, listing his cause of death as homicide.

Eleven band members are charged with felony hazing and two are charged with misdemeanors. FAMU's famed "Marching 100" band was suspended shortly after the incident, and officials announced it will remain sidelined  through the 2012-2013 school year.
