Silence in the Grove/Show Stopper

Thursday, April 7 · 45 min

At a housing area called "The Grove," fifteen shots are fired at a car: three of the four men inside are shot, one fatally. Sgt. Joe Schillaci is tasked with solving this case; he decides to "force" the drug dealers in the area to help, by turning up the heat in the area. Tips flood in! In "Showstopper," Det. Emillano Tamayo and his rookie partner Ruggerio are assigned to a case of the death of a local singer. Robbery seems to be the motive; even his car is gone. The only clue? A missing cell phone which has been used since the murder. Finding it will lead to the killer.
