The bureaus investigation was shut down in 2005; the murder remains unsolved. Among the new tidbits was that Wallace, who was also known as Biggie Smalls, was killed by very rare Gecko 9 mm armor piercing ammunition, which is seldom found in the U.S. At the time of his murder, Wallace was one of the biggest stars in rap music -- a gifted storyteller with incredible flow and smart, if violent and often mysoginistic, lyrics. There has been no shortage of conspiracy theories surrounding the cirumstances of his death, which has served to turn him into a mythological figure in rap. According to the FBI documents, a search warrant, served after Wallaces murder, revealed a shrine of TUPAC SHAKUR and numerous 9mm guns and ammunition, LAPD radios, scanners and other tactical items in the garage of an unnamed LAPD officer. In fact, the report ties several in the LAPD at the time to the Bloods gang and Death Row Records, and places them at the awards show Biggie attended before he was murdered. Shakurs murder, like Wallaces, has never been solved, and various theories have attempted to establish a connection between the two. WALLACE was in the middle of a 3-car caravan when a dark Chevy SS Impala pulled next to him and fired several times into the passenger area where WALLACE was sitting.
