Lee Morgan
Lee Morgan was a very popular African-American jazz trumpeter during his time. Just like Johnny Ace, he was taking a break from a performance at Slugs’ Saloon, a jazz club in New York City when his common-law wife, Helen Moore shot him after an argument.
He died of his wounds before an ambulance arrived.
