Where was retired LVMPD homicide detective Brent Becker when he first heard about the arrest of Keffe D? How does he know Cliff Mogg, the now retired LVMPD homicide detective who somehow brought the case of Tupac Shakur's murder to the Clark County DA? And just how familiar is Brent with those gathered to announce the indictment of Keffe D? (Hint: He knows them all.) Brent, one of the original investigators of the murder of Tupac, breaks it down  when he speaks to Lena Nozizwe exclusively in this bonus episode of Lena Nozizwe Reporting: Tupac's Murder Was His Case

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.

I am telling you.   The investigative journalist/published author in me came up with a theory of the case over the weekend---and did not have time to share during my @cbsnews appearance---but I discussed it yesterday morning while recording my podcast with retired LVMPD homicide detective Brent Becker---which is 'bout to drop tonight at midnight.
