Former Kingpin Girlfriend Tracy Cowan Now Pushing Justice Reform After Commuted Prison Sentence

Maserati Rick with girlfriend Tracy Cowan enjoying a night out — Detroit

Richard “Maserati Rick” Carter was a flamboyant and high-profile Detroit kingpin from the city’s East Side. He was famously murdered in 1988 while recovering in a hospital bed.

Tracy Cowan was deeply connected to the Detroit street scene of that era and was the beautiful long-time girlfriend and mother of two children with the notorious drug lord.

In 2003, years after Maserati Rick’s death, Cowan was arrested and convicted on non-violent federal/state drug and weapon charges involving cocaine, marijuana, and guns linked to a later relationship.

She received a harsh sentence of 20 to 40 years in prison, which criminal justice reform advocates often cited as an example of women associated with street figures receiving disproportionately heavy sentences.

Former NFL Player Dies After 4 Day Cocaine Bender with Strippers

Josh Mauro

Hey hustlers,

Drugs are bad mmkay?

This story is another cautionary tale about partying way too much. A lot of people on social media are questioning the stripper’s account that they were “sleep” before finding Josh dead on the floor while others are applauding him for dying “doing what he wanted to do”.

My thing is, I love a good party but who wants to die on a cold hard floor strung out on coke and surrounded by people who are not your family or loved ones?

Seems like a cold way to go, but to each is own. RIP Josh.


Daily Mail — Tragic NFL star Josh Mauro had been snorting cocaine on a four-day bender before his death from an accidental overdose, according to a medical report.

Now, a Phoenix Police Department case report reveals that he had been partying with several women – including a dancer – in the hours before his death.

It is reported that Mauro first met the dancer a week earlier, later inviting her, a friend and two other women to a gathering at his home in the early hours of April 23.

The woman told police that, while at Mauro’s property, the ex-NFL star and his friend began snorting cocaine, while ‘all of them’ drank tequila and listened to music.
