BIGGIE MURDER CASE REOPENED

A new team of LAPD detectives have been assigned to investigate the unsolved murder of rapper Notorious B.I.G. The Brooklyn rapper was gunned down in 1997 after attending a music industry party in L.A.

There was speculation that the LAPD played a part in B.I.G’s death along with Suge Knight. A suit was filed suit was filed by Biggie’s mother, Volleta Wallace, his sister and his widow, singer Faith Evans alleging that LAPD Officer David A. Mack orchestrated Wallace’s killing on behalf of Death Row Records chief Marion “Suge” Knight.

Last summer, the Wallace family was awarded $1.1 million dollars after Judge Florence-Marie Cooper ruled that evidence was concealed deliberately and declared a mistrial.

A new trial is expected to start this summer.
