The FBI Reveals Documents on the Murder of The Notorious B.I.G.


More than 14 years after his death, the FBI has revealed as part of the Freedom of Information Act details about Notorious B.I.G.'s murder, including information about how he was killed with rare ammunition. The online reading room called The Vault that allows for a search of the bureau's documents has been published last week. Consequently, details on how the legendary rapper has been killed in Los Angeles have emerged. It appears that Biggie was killed with a German-made Gecko 9mm gun, one that is not commonly found in the United States. Furthermore, the documents reveals information about some Los Angeles Police Department officers involved with the case having gang ties, and how they were able to mislead the process of investigation.

Although most of the information related to the murder has been known by the public, The Vault also shed light on items B.I.G. had at the time of the shooting. As shown, Biggie was said to be carrying a plastic baggy with marijuana, an asthma inhaler and three Magnum condoms. That evening, he was wearing Karl Kani jeans, Timberland boots and a Bernini sweater.
