Ep 28The Arrest
Twenty-seven years ago Brent Becker was a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department homicide detective and he got an unusual call in the middle of the night. No, it's not unusual to get a call any time if your job is to investigate murders. But in this case no one had died. On September 7, 1996, it was just a shooting. The difference was, says Becker, that a high-profile victim was involved. Becker left the homicide department in 2001 without solving the murder of Tupac Shakur. In the years that have followed the investigation of Tupac's death has been cloaked in controversy, conspiracies and plenty of outright lies. But no arrest. Until now. This episode was recorded in the early afternoon of October 2, 2023 before the arraignment of Keffe D. #tupacmurderpodcast #tupac #keffed #keefed #lenanozizwe www.tupacmurderpodcast.com He was directed to go to the scene of a shooting just off the strip. That's just not normal when your job is to investigate murders. He says he was sent to the scene because LVMPD understood that the case involved a high-profile victim--namely Tupac Shakur.
