Brett Ross Cantor Was Killed In The Exact Same Way Nicole Brown Simpson And Ron Goldman Were.

Brett Ross Cantor

He was a 25-year-old record label executive, concert promoter and part owner of the Dragon Fly nightclub in Hollywood California. He was a good friend of Ron Goldman. Brett was killed in his home 11 months before and in the exact same fashion as Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson. His throat was slit ear to ear and stabbed multiple times in the chest and shoulder. Also, the same homicide-robbery unit that investigated Brett's murder is the same one that investigated Ron and Nicole's murders.

O.J. Simpson's defense team wanted to introduce evidence of Brett's murder in order to show an alternative reason for Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson's murders. Judge Lance Ito did not allow the evidence of the murder to be introduced.

Brett was born on November 5th, 1967 to Rhonda and Paul Cantor. In the early 1970's, he and his family moved to the Los Angeles area. In the early 1990's, he served as an A&R executive for the Chrysalis Music Group. In that capacity he signed Jane's Addiction and helped get Rage Against the Machine its first record contract. Both bands became stars of the early 1990's alternative rock scene. 

Brett left Chrysalis to work briefly as a promoter, putting together some of the largest concert and dance events in the city at that time, he also entered the nightclub business, taking a 10% stake in Dragonfly, a club known at the time for its 1970's and hip hop theme nights.

One spring 1993 night at Dragonfly Brett met actress Rose McGowan. The two soon became romantically involved. He helped her escape an abusive relationship that had led her to develop an eating disorder.

Brett was last seen alive in the early morning of July 30th, 1993, leaving Club 434. Later that day, his body was found at his Hollywood home a short distance from Dragonfly.

Brett had been stabbed 23 times around the head and arms. His throat had been cut almost to the point of decapitation. His tongue was pulled out through an incision in his lower jaw.

Brett was under investigation by the FBI for possible involvement in the drug trade at the time of his death. Allegedly, investigators found $130,000 in cash in a safe in Brett's office after he was killed.

His murder remains unsolved.
