12 Years Ago… ~ Notorious B.I.G.
March 9th, 1997. Shots ring out near the corner of Wilshire and Fairfax… the murder of Christopher Wallace. From Wikipedia:
On March 9, 1997, at around 12:30 a.m., Wallace left with his entourage in two GMC Suburbans to return to his hotel after the Fire Department closed the party early due to overcrowding.[33] Wallace traveled in the front passenger seat alongside his associates, Damion “D-Roc” Butler, Junior M.A.F.I.A. member Lil’ Cease and driver, Gregory “G-Money” Young. Combs traveled in the other vehicle with three bodyguards. The two trucks were trailed by a Chevrolet Blazer carrying Bad Boy’s director of security.
Composite Sketch of Suspect
By 12:45 a.m. the streets were crowded with people leaving the event. Wallace’s truck stopped at a red light 50 yards from the museum. A black Chevy Impala pulled up alongside Wallace’s truck. The driver of the Impala (an African-American male neatly dressed in a blue suit and bow tie) rolled down his window, drew a 9 mm blue-steel pistol and fired numerous rounds into the GMC Suburban; four bullets hit Wallace in the chest.[8] Wallace was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center by his entourage but was pronounced dead at 1:15 a.m
The murder has never been solved.
