![]() When Poole brought his findings before LA police chief Bernard Parks, for example, he was ordered to cease his investigations into Officer Mack, as he was on his way to prison at the time for robbing a bank. While the LAPD opened its own investigation into the murder, the department has been consistently accused of intentionally derailing efforts to bring Biggie's killer to justice. The same rare bullets used in Wallace's killing were also allegedly found on Mack's property. Poole honed in on Mack after a black Chevy Impala was reportedly found in his garage next to a "shrine" devoted to Shakur. Six months before Biggie was killed, another hip hop titan – west coast rap legend Tupac Shakur, who was signed to Knight's label – was murdered on the Las Vegas strip in a similarly public, and unsolved, execution. Knight's west coast record label, Death Row, was involved in a highly-publicized feud with Wallace's east coast label, Bad Boy Records, at the time. Mack was allegedly an associate of hip-hop mogul Marion "Suge" Knight, a member of Knight's gang and his off-duty bodyguard. ![]() Poole accused officer David Mack and his friend Amir Muhammad – and possibly other officers – of carrying out Wallace's assassination. ![]() In 2002, Rolling Stone reporter Randall Sullivan published the book LAbyrinth, detailing former LAPD detective Russel Poole's investigations into the murder. ![]() Despite the public nature of his killing, the hip hop icon's murder remains unsolved.
