Which American soul singer was murdered on December 11, 1964 in Los Angeles?
Answer
Sam Cooke is mysteriously found dead on December 11, 1964 in a California motel. He was shot to death and has a large wound in his chest. The vagueness surrounding the motive for the crime greatly encouraged the controversy surrounding a death that deeply shocked the African-American community.
