They were Geminis. Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace, better known as Notorious B.I.G., were born 11 months apart and were murdered within six months of each other, cosmically joined together in life and death like twins. Though Biggie was killed in Los Angeles, the case didn’t make it to the desk of LAPD homicide detective Greg Kading for a decade. By that point, the trail had run cold and conspiracy theories flourished that rogue cops had done it. Kading took another look at the case and discovered a Compton gangster he thought might give up the killer. Instead, that gangster, Duane Davis, unspooled how he and his cousin, with the help of an associate of Sean Combs, gunned down Shakur. Today, investigative reporter Greg Donahue chronicles the tangled 27-year saga that finally led to an arrest — and the controversies surrounding the man who cracked the case. |
