Official Wants to Offer B.I.G. Reward
A city councilman wants to offer a $50,000 public reward for leads in the unsolved murder of rapper Notorious B.I.G. Councilman Dennis Zine proposed Friday to offer the reward for 60 days.
“I am hopeful someone will come forward with information which will lead to the eventual apprehension of the murderers involved in this case,” Zine said in a statement.
Zine’s motion was under review by a council committee. A 1997 measure offering a $25,000 reward expired after several months.
The 24-year-old rapper, born Christopher Wallace, was shot and killed March 9, 1997, after a party at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
A new team of police detectives was recently assigned to the case.
