Marvin Gaye was a coke addled insane man. His dad had enough of him verbally and physically abusing he and his wife. I don’t think he even went to jail. People are blind to famous people, associating them with beauty, when in fact they are very damaged and living in “the fantasy” world.
The point I was making was that the person in the article was shot by a family member. Whether Gaye was a coke addict or not, my comment was based on the fact that his own father shot him to death. The old man got off because he’d been diagnosed with a brain tumor, and he never did time for the crime he committed.
