Funk Musician Troutman Fatally Shot
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) - Funk musician Roger Troutman, of the duo
Roger & Zapp, was shot to death Sunday, possibly by his brother in a
murder-suicide, police said.
Troutman, 47, was found outside his northwest Dayton recording studio
around 7 a.m. He had been shot several times in the torso and died
while in surgery at Good Samaritan Hospital and Health Center,
Dayton police Sgt. Gary White said.
His brother, Larry Troutman, 54, was found dead in a car a few
blocks away with a gunshot wound to the head, White said. A
handgun was found inside the car, which matched the description of a
car leaving the scene of Roger Troutman's shooting, White said.
``We're investigating Roger's death as a homicide. We're uncertain
about the suicide aspect,'' White said.
Investigators could know by Tuesday whether the gun was used in
both shootings, he said.
Roger & Zapp, artists with Warner Brothers, were known for the
1980 hit ``More Bounce For The Ounce.''
