Murder of Tupac Shakur

Earlier that year, Anderson and a group of Crips had robbed a member of Death Row's entourage in a Foot Locker store.

His manager Wayne Barrow and fellow rapper James "Lil' Cease" Lloyd made public announcements denying Biggie's role in the crime and claimed further that they were both with him in the recording studio during the night of the event.

Evidence gathered by Philips showed that: "the shooting was carried out by a Compton gang called the Southside Crips to avenge the beating of one of its members by Shakur a few hours earlier. Orlando Anderson, the Crip whom Shakur had attacked, fired the fatal shots. Las Vegas police discounted Anderson as a suspect and interviewed him only once, briefly. He was later killed in an unrelated gang shooting."

On the night of September 7, 1996, rapper Tupac Shakur was shot multiple times in a drive-by shooting that led to his death six days later on September 13, 1996.
