The murder of Christopher Wallace, an American rapper better known by his stage names "the Notorious B.I.G." and "Biggie Smalls", occurred in the early hours of Sunday, March 9, 1997. The hip hop artist was shot four times in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles, California. He was 24 years old. In 2006, Wallace's mother, Voletta Wallace, his widow, Faith Evans, and his children T'yanna Jackson and Christopher Jordan "CJ" Wallace, filed a $400 million second wrongful death lawsuit against the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) alleging that corrupt officers were responsible for Wallace's death. Retired LAPD Officer Greg Kading alleged that Marion "Suge" Knight, the head of Death Row Records, orchestrated the murder in revenge for the September 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur in a similar drive-by homicide by gunshot.
