Christopher Wallace, a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G., is shot four times while driving back to his hotel after attending a party hosted by Vibe magazine and Qwest Records at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, California. Wallace dies from his injuries that night. A week after Wallace’s murder, the Los Angeles Times cites unnamed sources in reporting that the killing was due to a financial dispute with members of the South Side Compton Crips, whom Wallace had employed as security during West Coast visits. No charges are ever brought against anyone in the killing.
