Original superstar DJ Keoki was taken into custody following not only the death of an NBC Television producer from an alleged Drug overdose. LA Weekly reports a serious amount of drugs were found in his apartment that warranted the arrest.
Police responded to the apartment at 514 E .83rd St. after a man called cops about 3:30 a.m. on Jan. 4 to report that someone had died, New York Police Department Officer Tiffany Philips said. The deceased had “arranged to meet up at the residence” after becoming acquainted with one of the suspects online, she said: “It seems drugs were involved.”
“The caller stated the deceased went to sleep, then about 3:30 was discovered deceased and unresponsive,” Philips said.
Two men were booked on Jan. 6 after drugs were discovered at the address, she said. Police identified the suspects as 50-year-old George Lopez, arrested on suspicion of holding drugs and possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell it. Lopez also had a warrant, the details of which were not available, Philips said. Patrick Walsh, 33, was the other suspect; he was collared on suspicion of drug possession, police said. She alleged he was in possession of methamphetamine, gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) and drug paraphernalia.
Keoki was known for headlining many major parties in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, essentially helping soundtrack the early rave scene. More from this story is to come.
