The theory was based on evidence provided by an informant (who later recanted), and an alleged but unsupported resemblance of Muhammed to the facial composite. The book stated that one of Mack's alleged associates, Amir Muhammad (although there was never evidence that Muhammad knew Mack), was the hitman. In the book, Sullivan accused Marion "Suge" Knight, co-founder of Death Row Records and a known Bloods affiliate, of conspiring with David Mack, an LAPD officer (whom Sullivan alleged without evidence to be a Death Row employee), to kill Wallace and make Shakur's and Wallace's death appear the result of a bi-coastal rap rivalry. In 1997, Los Angeles Times authors Chuck Philips and Matt Laitt reported that the key suspect was a member of the Crips acting in service of a personal financial motive.Ī 2002 book by Randall Sullivan called Labyrinth compiled information about the murders of Wallace and Shakur based on information provided by retired LAPD detective Russell Poole.
Immediately after the shooting, reports surfaced linking the Shakur and Wallace murders, because of the similarities in the drive-by shootings.
Wallace's murder remains unsolved and there are many theories regarding the identities and motives of the murderers.
