    Where was Sam Cooke when he died, and who shot him?

    Question #41381. Asked by shady shaker. (Nov 21 03 1:21 PM)


    MaggieG 5

    		The circumstances surrounding his death on December 11, 1964 remain hazy. According to initial reports, he was shot three times by 55 year old Bertha Franklin, the manager of Los Angeles' Hacienda Motel, who claimed she acted in self-defence. She said that Cooke had sexually assaulted a 22-year-old woman, who escaped to the motel's office seeking help.
