    Bobby was killed after White Trash broke up. He was working with Jerry Lacroix’ band which contained just about all the White Trash members minus Edgar Winter and Rick Derringer. They were touring and were inChicago at the time of Bobby’s murder. Edgar was already working with the Edgar Winter Group at that time.
