A federal judge in Los Angeles recently dismissed without prejudice an eight-year-long wrongful death lawsuit filed against the city over the fatal shooting of former rapper Christopher Wallace, also known as the Notorious B.I.G. In the lawsuit, Wallace’s mother accused the Los Angeles police department of conspiracy and attempting to cover up their involvement in her son’s shooting. In 2005, another judge ordered the city to pay the family $1.1 million in legal fees and ruled that the police had intentionally withheld evidence. Lawyers for Wallace say they will refile the lawsuit.
