>L.A Times - The man behind the magic-show-industry-reviving Troupe Gramarye group of performers was found dead last night at 11:30 PM in the Japanifornia General Hospital, shot in the forehead with a golden pistol left on his bed.
>Gramarye had previously been interred at the General Hospital in 2018 following his contraction of Liver Cancer and Chronic Diabetes. It's said he only had three months to live. This was not the first tragedy to occur to the group. The victim's daughter and one of the Troupe's members, one Thalassa Gramarye, reportedly disappeared following the Troupe's discontinuation of their famous-yet-controversial "Quick-Draw Shoot 'em" act. Speculation abounds to the circumstances, but she has not been found.
>The leading suspect of Gramarye's murder is Gramarye's son-in-law Shadi Enigmar (better known by the stage name Zak Gramarye), who had also been visiting the victim late that night between his IV refills. The crime was reported by the victim's apprentice and Enigmar's co-worker Valant Gramarye, who was the first to discover Magnifi's body.
>More damningly, Enigmar had apparently received a letter FROM Magnifi Gramarye ordering the man to shoot him, with there being a "reason" that Enigmar could not refuse. Enigmar refused to elaborate on the letter's contents when questioned.
>The trial is slated to start on April 19th. The prosecution will be headed by German musician-turned-lawyer Klavier Gavin, whilst the defense will be led by his brother, up-and-coming Defense Attorney Kristoph Gavin.
