Court documents connect bluegrass icon Billy Strings to his brother Patrick Apostol, who is charged with the 2020 murder of Denver musician Zack Smith.
Billy Strings , real name William Lee Apostol, and Denver murder suspect Patrick Apostol both had the same dad, Billy, who died of a heroin overdose.is facing murder charges in Denver, with police saying that he gunned down a local musician more than three years ago., who was shot in the head while driving down an alley in east Denver on September 10, 2020, according to police.
Filings from the 2022 drug case show that Apostol routinely brought up his guitar-picking sibling, asking his wife on one occasion during a June 1, 2021, phone call from behind bars to tell a pretrial services officer that he has a"very rich brother" who"won a Grammy.
The self-described"philanthropist" had tried using his ties to Strings to help argue for his release from jail after his initial drugs and weapons arrest, but the court had ordered him detained instead."While the government has pointed out that Mr. Apostol appears to have access to significant funds and, perhaps a private jet, Mr. Apostol has explained that is the result of the largesse of his successful musician-brother," the Order of Detention reads.
"Upon learning forwarding address — 7315 East 17th Avenue — detectives realized this was the same address where had contacted Apostol the day of the shooting and asked him about the video surveillance on the exterior of the house," says Apostol's arrest affidavit.
