Attention immediately fell on the pair of would-be rap impresarios being prosecuted by Luna last week on drug and weapons charges. But the duo, still in government custody, had made plea agreements with Luna on Wednesday, and were waiting to finalize their deals in court the morning his body was discovered. They denied involvement with the murder.
Luna, a former rising star, had lately been in a slump. A Democrat, he didn’t get along well with his Republican boss, Thomas DiBiagio; relations had dipped so low that Luna had retained a lawyer and considered filing a complaint against the office, although he ultimately decided against the move. In recent days Luna seemed increasingly “depressed” and “stressed-out,” according to friends and colleagues still stunned by his death.
