LAPD Re-Opening Biggie Smalls Murder Case

According to the Times,
Nine years after the slaying of rap star Biggie Smalls, LAPD Chief William J. Bratton has launched a task force of senior homicide detectives to hunt down the killer, a rare show of force for a cold-case murder with no new evidence.
The beefed-up Los Angeles Police Department probe comes in the wake of a wrongful-death lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles by the rapper’s mother, Voletta Wallace, and other relatives. Whatever new evidence the police turn up could bolster the city’s contention that LAPD officers played no role in the rapper’s death. Wallace maintains they did.

About time! How does a high-profile person get killed outside a high-profile event in such a high-profile location without any good leads? You know the steel-o, it’s unbelievable.
Anyone who wants to get a good idea of who killed Biggie and Pac should check out the book LAbriynth.
It is an amazing true crime story that reveals a huge cover up at the LAPD regarding the Rampart scandal.
The cop car in this photo is facing the intersection where Biggie was killed in the left-hand turning lane right outside the Petersen Museum.
