Notorious B.I.G.'s Murder Case Runs Cold, "We Have Followed Up On All Leads"

Despite new investigative documents from B.I.G.'s 1997 murder emerging online this week, LAPD claim the case still lacks a strong lead.

LAPD Capt. Kevin McClure, head of the department's Robbery Homicide Division, said Wednesday that theLAPD's investigation into the killing of the rapper, whose real name was Christopher Wallace, remains open, but that detectives have exhausted the leads they were pursuing. "We have followed up on all of the leads we have at this time to the best of our ability. If anything new comes along we will certainly look at it," he said. (Los Angles Times)

Earlier this week, FBI documents revealed discreet details on what bullets were used in the '97 fatal shooting.

Now, finally, the FBI has released its (heavily redacted) documents on the murder, and several facts were revealed--one being that the bullets that killed him were rare Gecko 9mm ammunition, made only in Germany and sold Stateside only in California and New Jersey. Officials hoped they could link the bullets to other crimes to find the murderer, but none was discovered. They were also hoping to link Biggie's killing to Tupac Shakur's six months earlier--and did find individuals who were present at both scenes. (Entertainment Weekly)
