Biggie's Family Files New Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against LAPD

The family of The Notorious B.I.G. has filed another wrongful-death lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles.

B.I.G. (born Christopher Wallace) was shot and killed on March 9, 1997 after a party at the PetersenAutomotiveMuseum in Los Angeles. Voletta Wallace, B.I.G.'s mother, and his widow, Faith Evans, sued the city and others five years ago, alleging wrongful death, and accused convicted corrupt cops Rafael Perez and David Mack of conspiring to kill Biggie with Death Row CEO Marion "Suge" Knight.

The case would end in a mistrial in 2005 after it was revealed the tip that the LAPD was withholding evidence. The Wallace family would be awarded with $1.1 million in legal fees and a re-trial was set for this year.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the new suit, which was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Monday (April 16), alleges that Mack, Perez and his ex-partner Nino Durden were involved in Biggie's slaying.

The suit contends that Perez has made specific statements that he, together with David Mack, conspired to murder and participated in the murder of the Brooklyn bred rapper.

The suit also alleges that Perez was a member of a street gang and was working as a "covert agent" for Death Row Records at the same time he was working as a police officer.

The lawsuit estimates that financial losses as a result of Biggie's death could be as much as $500 million. The suit also contends that the city of L.A. covered up Perez and Durden's involvement because it would have made the city liable in a lawsuit.

hopefully this one isn't gunna turn out to be a dissapointment

biggie family should give up i dont care if its da NYPDP SAPD SFPD MDPD all them mothafuckas protect they own...and you aint gotta be a rocket scientist to realize an officer i believe his name is mackie orginized this thing..it aint hard to tell that mackie made sure his lapd friends would be elseware WHEN ONE OF THE BUSIEST STREETS IN LA WAS BEIN SHOT UP

your not gonna get a police to turn on a police and when a few of them did and tried to get tha fuckin answers what happeend cops got fired cops "retired" people ended up dead nothin is gonna come outta of it..and i understand his family wants him to get tha respect he deserves but dayum

who knos cuzz dey might get wut dey need but i don think iss gon happen cuz daz tha lapd n dey don play

why tha fuck they expect everyone cooperate with the police and make a big deal about the whole "stop snitchin" thing in hip-hop? the same fuckin shit that applies to these rappers and real gangsters out on the streets are the same rules that run in the people who are supposed to protect us.

exactly i neva looked at it like that..we all get around and say we need to find tha people responsible for the deaths of 2pac and biggie yet we glorfie a lifestyle that says "NO SNITCHING" imma bring to you a true story..imma leave names out for ovious reasons but here is a true story

i grew up wit a guy we will use his Street Allias Girbuad and well, he lived to be like 2pac..Every 2pac album, movie all dat BUT NEVA READ A FUCKIN 2PAC BOOK funny. Anywayz

on his quest to be da ultimate gangsta he got his hands on a glock nine..he held it in a lunch box everyware we went including our old job "THE BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB" If your not familure the boys and girls club is pretty much a youth center for CHILDREN where they go after school to play sports and what not

long story short he ended up killing a man and shot out a woman eye ball and grazed her head..she lived..tha man died of course..he came to me told me this whole story and told me to provide him with an alaby

I refused, due to the fact i was away the night he comitted the crime so my alaby wouldn't stand and then id be in trouble...snitches started snitchin, somehow someway they found the info they needed and arrested him outta his 4th period class (he was 17 at tha time)

it has been about 3 years and jus got sentenced to 28 years behind bars possiblities of parole after 15 due to his age...my whole family wanted me to snitch, said they didn't feel safe knowing hes walking around..and honestly i thought of it cause he has pulled that gun on me right to the back of my head..yet it was a "joke"

i didn't snitch tho and up until tha day he got arrested i had trouble sleeping, i didn't wanna go outside, i was jus afraid that he was lurking around and since i knew about his crime i was good as an eye witness and u no what they do

and honestly i sleep better know that he is in jail and knowing i will be long gone by da time he get out...till this day i still feel like i should have snitched..but i didn't so i can live wit tha fact i aint no snitch but dayum i knew about something that was horrible and he almost got away with it had someone els not stepped up...sometimes i think imma burn twice in hell for it
