Authorities had arrived and surrounded Gaye’s home before calling him to exit the residence, however he had already left in his Corvette prior to their arrival.

He eventually turned himself in to the local sheriff’s office and was booked on two charges, one for misdemeanor domestic violence and the other felony assault with a deadly weapon.

As a singer and songwriter, Marvin Gaye was a father of three children – Nona Gaye, Frankie Gaye, and Marvin Gaye III. While two of them are his biological kids, there has been debate over whether Gaye III was adopted or not.

Gaye III is probably best known for winning a $5.3 million lawsuit against Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams for copyright infringement regarding their 2013 hit “Blurred Lines.”
