American Lamont Lipka was killed in May of 2018, slain inside the Tropicana Restaurant he owned and managed in San Pedro.
Well, six months later, police have charged one person for his murder. Yesterday, Tracey Betancourt was arraigned for Lipka's murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Shortly after the murder, Betancourt had been charged jointly for possession of kept ammunition without a license. Seven 9 millimeter rounds were found in a room she had rented.
Police believe she was a key player in setting up the murder - and they are now actively seeking a known male suspect - who allegedly carried it out.
On the night of May 13th, a gunman strode into the restaurant and shot Lipka once. He fell to the ground and the gunman walked over him and shot him five more times.
