The full details are available via the link but the gist of it comes down to lifestyle decisions made by the singer involving substance use and financial dealings.

An arrest has been made in the senseless murder of former Ramones manager and New York City realtor, Linda Stein. According to CNN,

The suspect is Linda’s personal assistant, Natavia Lowery, said police spokesman Paul Browne. She “made statements implicating herself” in the killing, he said.

She’s credited with bringing the Ramones to England for their infamous July 4, 1976, show. That performance is often described as the catalyst for the punk movement in Britain. After Stein and Fields parted ways with the Ramones in 1980, she eventually launched a real estate career brokering multimillion-dollar Manhattan apartments for rock and roll royalty.
