This March marked seven years since the untimely murder of Christopher Wallace, better known as The Notorious B.I.G. The ensuing investigation, or seeming lack there of, has been a nightmare for Voletta Wallace and Biggie’s estate. Things are looking up though.
On June 21 Big’s estate received the decision that they can bring a wrongful death suit against the LAPD. The lawsuit centers on former LAPD officer and Blood, David Mack, who has been implicated in the murder.
“It appeared that police radios were used to monitor the location and response of law enforcement to the shooting, as well as to facilitate escaping after the shooting, concealing the vehicle, and disposing of the weapon,” Judge Florence-Marie Cooper said. It is believed that Mack used information only known to the LAPD, such as surveillance information and Wallace’s planned exit route. The Judge said they now have to prove that Mack was “acting, purporting to act, or pretending to act in the performance of his or her official duties.”
