A task force of six veteran homicide detectives has been assembled to investigate the unsolved 1997 killing of rap star Notorious B.I.G.
The new probe comes in the face of a wrongful-death lawsuit filed by the rapper’s mother, Violetta Wallace, and other relatives, who say rogue police officers were involved in the killing. A judge ordered the city to pay $1.1 million in legal fees and other expenses to the rapper’s family. A new trial was set for early next year.
B.I.G., whose given name was Christopher Wallace, was 24 when he was gunned down March 9, 1997, while leaving a party at a Los Angeles museum. The New York rapper, also known as Biggie Smalls, was one of the most influential hip-hop artists of the 1990s.
