A Virginia man who rapped about a cold case double homicide from 2007 has been arrested after police used his lyrics to link him to the crime.
Antwain Steward, aka “Twain Gotti,” of Newport News was arrested July 9th by police investigating the murders of Brian Dean and Christopher Horton who were killed separately after suffering gunshot wounds in what was believed to be a gang dispute.
Years after the deaths, detectives on the case found Steward’s song “Ride Out”, which featured lyrics they believed referenced the crimes.
The lyrics included the phrases: “Listen, walk to your boy and I approached him, 12 midnight on his traphouse porch and everybody saw when I [expletive] smoked him, roped him, sharpened up the shank then I poked him, 357 Smith & Wesson [unintelligible] scoped him, roped him, had me crackin up so I joked him, it’s betweezy six feet ova, told ya [expletive] with my money I’ll roast ya.”
