A
STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES
SECOND
EDITION
A drug screen
done on the victim may help establish possible victim use and connections to
the drug business. Sometimes the mode of death might be an overdose, or
so-called hotshot, especially if the victim is a user.
The investigator
should make sure a latent print process is attempted on the body. Physical
contact commonly occurs between the offender and victim of a drug murder before
death.
Investigative Considerations
The offender
will almost always have a known association with the drug trade as a user,
manufacturer, or distributor. This subject commonly will be associated with a
street gang, since gangs are immersed in drug trafficking (see classification
102).
