Police have confirmed that the deaths Sunday (April 25) of brothers Roger

Troutman and Larry Troutman, founding members of the funk band

Zapp, were the result of a murder-suicide. Larry Troutman shot Roger

Troutman to death Sunday morning, then took his own life with the same gun, Det.

Carol Thomas, a spokesperson for the Dayton, Ohio, police department, said.

Thomas said the Dayton coroner's office determined the same gun was used in both

shootings. Police have not yet found a motive for the shootings, according to

Thomas. Zapp's first hit was 1980's "More Bounce to the Ounce," and their sound

was embraced by hip-hop artists; Roger Troutman appeared on the Tupac

Shakur/Dr. Dre single "California Love."
