In the season 3 finale of Only Murders in the Building, Sazz Pataki is murdered, and the culprit behind the murder becomes the central mystery of season 4. Sazz, Charles’ stunt double, is shot on her way to tell Charles something in his apartment. The trio of Charles, Oliver, and Mabel are initially unaware of what happened, as the killer cleaned the crime scene, removed Sazz’s body, and tricked Charles into thinking she was texting him. The premiere of season 4 sees the trio discovering Sazz’s burned body in the Arconia’s incinerator, sparking their investigation into her murder.
As the group searches for Sazz’s killer, they begin to question whether she was the true target or if the bullet was meant for Charles.

Among the suspects is Vince Fish, also known as Stink Eye Joe, who is named as one of the Westies living on the other side of the Arconia who has a grudge against Charles. However, it is revealed that Vince’s hostility towards Charles is due to a case of pink eye, making him an unlikely suspect.
Another group of suspects is the Sauce Family, which includes Inez and Alfonso, who are always seen looking at Charles through their window while stirring sauce. It is discovered that Inez has a crush on Charles, causing tension with her husband Alfonso and giving a potential motive for the murder. The Christmas All the Time Guy, another Westie who hasn’t been met yet, is also considered a suspect due to the positioning of his window where the bullet might have come from.
