Local and federal authorities are back pursuing leads in the 13-year-old murder case of slain rapper Christopher “The Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace, according to a recent article by CNN.

In the article, a law enforcement officer close to the investigation claims that the baffling case was “reinvigorated” months ago as a result of new information. No more information on the re-opening of the case was given because of the ongoing investigation that includes the Los Angeles Police Department, L.A. County District Attorney’s Office and the FBI.
Wallace was shot and killed on March 9, 1997, while sitting in the passenger side in a vehicle that was leaving an industry party in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles police have surmised that a lone gunman in a Chevy Impala pulled alongside Wallace’s vehicle, and opened fire on the rapper. Witnesses described the suspect as being an African-American man wearing a suit and bow tie.
