Biggie Smalls Death
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008
Biggie Smalls, aka The Notorious B.I.G., was killed on March 9, 1997 in California, not long after giving away Soul Train Music Award to Toni Braxton.
Biggie had attended an after party and left with his entourage a little after midnight. The streets were still filled to the brim with celebrants, however, and Biggie’s vehicle was stopped a number of time by people in the street. As his GMC slowly rolled its way towards his hotel, however, his truck and another he’d been traveling with were cut off by a pair of vehicles.
One of these trucks pulled up beside the window of Biggie’s vehicle and a well-dressed man fired a gun multiple times. Biggie was hit four times in the chest. He was rushed to a hospital by his entourage after the two trucks withdrew but pronounced dead a little after 1 am.
Police have yet to pin the murder of Biggie Smalls on anybody despite a number of potential suspects.
