“” Wallace’s murder has yet to receive a similar breakthrough.”
“13, 1996, drive-by shooting of rap icon Tupac Shakur .”
“Blige, was gunned down in Los Angeles in 1997, several months after Shakur’s own death.”
“At the time, Combs denied ever employing gang members as part of his and his label’s security detail.”
“On the surface, Davis’ guilty verdict and pending sentence is nothing short of poetic justice.”
“During Wallace and Shakur’s own rift, Knight and Combs’ own cold war simmered and ran even hotter than many initially believed.”
“Martin, the supposed middleman in the alleged contract killing, passed away in 2012.”
“Kevin Gaines, Rafael Perez, and David Mack, corrupt Los Angeles Police Department officers implicated in the notorious Rampart scandal, and Amir Muhammad, a longtime friend of Mack, have been floated as alleged gunmen in Wallace’s murder.”
“While an alleged paper trail involving Knight and his former girlfriend Theresa Swann raised speculation regarding the supposed arrangement, Fouse’s death in 2003 yielded yet another dead end in the case.”
“The hip-hop community was reminded of that reality when Duane “Keffe D” Davis was found guilty for his role in the Sept.”
“The 63-year-old’s conviction has brought a resolution to one of the most discussed and analyzed criminal cases in music history.”
“Closure brings information and context, but it lacks finality.”
“Unlike Pac, where conspiracies behind his death were long du jour, investigators and fans of Wallace have largely concluded that one of two central figures in the case may hold keys that unlock the answers regarding Wallace’s passing: Marion “Suge” Knight and Sean “Diddy” Combs.”
“The reputed South Side Compton Crips gang leader even admitted to passing the murder weapon to fellow South Side member Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, the alleged gunman in the shooting and Davis’ nephew.”
“Another potential motive ties back to Combs’ relationship with Davis and the Southside Crips, who Davis claimed protected Combs, Wallace, and Bad Boy members during their trips on the West Coast.”
“Motive aside, closing Wallace’s murder case hinges on positively identifying the gunman responsible for pulling the trigger, as well as evidence to support it.”
“The seemingly lone conspiracy theory regarding Wallace’s death — that Combs himself orchestrated his murder to prevent Wallace from leaving Bad Boy Records and launching his own record label — has remained as such for many, with no tangible proof or plausible evidence supporting it.”
“Former L.A.”
“But when you look at the investigations in both cases, the details and evidence diverge.”
“Ironically, a similar claim was also made concerning Knight and Shakur; however, Davis’ admissions and conviction ultimately debunk that theory.”
“Combs reportedly spoke and attended Martin’s funeral, where he credited Martin with “saving his life.” When pressed by law enforcement, Wallace’s close friends, including his wife, R&B star Faith Evans, and best friend, Damien “D-Roc” Butler, appeared unforthcoming about details concerning Martin, despite Martin being the supposed godfather of Biggie and Faith’s son, CJ Wallace, and listed in the liner notes of Biggie’s posthumous Life After Death album as “Uncle Zip (The Spiritual Advisor).” Martin’s name also appears in the list of attendees for Biggie’s funeral, albeit under the alias Zip ‘Equan’ Williams.”
