Christopher Wallace, a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G. was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting on March 9, 1997. His killer has never been found.
Retired LAPD detective Greg Kading alleged that Wallace was shot and killed by Wardell "Poochie" Fouse, a gang member and associate of famed hip-hop music executive Marion "Suge" Knight. According to Kading, Knight hired Fouse to kill Wallace in order to avenge the death of Shakur, as part of the East Coast-West Coast hip-hop rivalry that dominated the 1990s.
A book by Randall Sullivan, based on information from retired LAPD detective Russell Poole, also pointed the finger at Knight, alleging that he worked with a corrupt Los Angeles Police Department officer to hire a hit man to kill Wallace. However, in 2005, a story showed that the main informant for Sullivan's theory was a schizophrenic with admitted memory lapses who had confessed to hearsay, greatly undermining Sullivan and Poole's theory.
