Revealed: Notorious B.I.G. Was Shot In The 'Chest, Shoulder, Leg, Forearm And Scrotum' On Night Of His Murde


The hip-hop artist, who was listed on the autopsy as 6ft 1in tall and weighing 395lbs, had been sitting in the passenger seat of a Chevy Suburban when the shooting occurred.
However, while he was hit four times, three of the shots proved not to be fatal.
Wallace was first shot in the left forearm, with the bullet traveling down to his wrist, before the second shot struck him in the back - narrowly missing his vital organs before exiting through his left shoulder.
Mystery: The rapper, pictured with Sean 'Diddy' Combs in 1997, was shot in LA but nobody was ever charged in connection with the death

And the third shot entered through Wallace's left thigh, before leaving on the other side of his leg. Referring to the third shot, the report reads:

 'The projectile strikes the left side of the scrotum, causing a very shallow, 3/8 inch linear laceration.'
It was the fourth shot which proved fatal, as it hit Wallace's heart, liver, colon and part of his left lung when it entered through his right hip, before settling around his left shoulder.
In the years since Wallace's murder, a number of theories have emerged, including the suspicion that police officers were involved.
However, former Los Angeles police chief Bernard Parks, who was in charge of the force at the time of the shooting, called claims of a cover-up ‘absurd.’
Nobody was ever charged in connection with the death, but it was widely blamed on a rap war between the East and West Coast.
Six months before the shooting, West Coast rapper Tupac Shakur was killed by a gunman in Las Vegas in another murder that has never been solved.
Detectives have investigated claims that the two shootings could have been linked.
Raised in Brooklyn, Wallace started selling drugs at the age of 12 and served nine months in prison before going on to sell more than seven million records.
