According to court documents, Marvin Gaye III allegedly physically assaulted his wife and cousin during an argument at his Calabasas home on Jan. 12. He also allegedly pointed a gun at both women.

 

Reportedly, police surrounded the couple’s home and called for Marvin to come out, however, he had already fled the scene. He then turned himself over to authorities the next day. Marvin was booked on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge and a felony assault with a deadly weapon charge. He was later released after posting a $50,000 bond.

According to reports, an emergency protective order was issued to make sure Marvin stays away from his home and those living there.

He eventually got into a physical altercation with his father, Marvin Gay Sr., who shot Gaye twice, once in the chest, and then into his son’s shoulder, in his bedroom. Gaye died at 44, one day short of his 45th birthday.

Marvin III has two children from a previous relationship. He welcomed his first son Marvin IV in 1995, and his second son, Dylan, in 2000.
