Poetic Justice: Tupac’s Murder Case and Why the Notorious B.I.G.’s May Remain Unsolved
Keffe D's conviction for the death of Shakur has many questioning if Biggie's murder will ever receive closure
The recent conviction of Keffe D, the uncle of Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, for the 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur has brought new attention to another infamous unsolved case: the 1997 murder of The Notorious B.I.G. While Keffe D's conviction brings some measure of closure to Tupac's family and fans, many are left wondering if justice will ever be served for Biggie's tragic death.
