Notorious B.I.G. Murder Investigation 'Reinvigorated' After New Information

cnn.com:

A task force made up of local and federal law enforcement agencies is actively pursuing leads into the 1997 slaying of hip hop artist Christopher Wallace, better known as Biggie Smalls or Notorious B.I.G., according to two sources familiar with the investigation.

According to one law enforcement source, the investigation into the 13-year-old unsolved case was "reinvigorated" months ago as a result of new information, but the source would not elaborate further because of the ongoing investigation that includes the Los Angeles Police Department, L.A. County District Attorney's Office and the FBI.

Maybe one of the eyewitnesses has actually decided to tell the police what he really saw instead of claiming that he was looking the other way.

There was a correlation between the hit on Tupac and that on Wallace. These crimes are intertwined and more convoluted than one would concede. There is a crossover of police silence, institutionalized racism in the PD, and the involvement of Death Row Records.

If anyone believes that the PDs of LA and NY did everything in their power to solve these crimes, one only has to re-examine the scandals that rocked these departments around 1997 - the year when both these rising stars were gunned down.

To those who have followed this story, one cannot overrule Suge Kight's involvement in one or both killings. Snoop Dogg, a close friend and confidante of Tupac, and a rising star at that time, even comes out about Suge's involvement in one of his raps.

I hope both killings are solved, but, there might be too may reputations and careers at stake - kinda like the solitary gunman on the knoll in the Kennedy assassination. The politics at that time were too racially inflammatory as it relates to the popularity of rap and hip-hop and the impact it was having on the younger generation.

The police can't really do anything when all the witnesses claim to have seen nothing. There is a culture in the hip hop community that vilifies "snitches" and anything that is remotely seen as cooperating with law enforcement is seriously frowned upon.

Such a profoundly blanket statement from one who has not lived among us.

If he was the Notorious S.M.A.L.L he would have been harder to hit.

so, when can I expect to see Suge Knight being indicted for this hit? can we combine that with the hit he ordered on Tupac?

Suge Knight ordered a hit on Tpac? He was in the car when Tupac was shot and killed. Your statement doesn't make sense.
