A bandaged Shakur rolls into court in a wheelchair on Dec. 1, 1994, the day after the Quad shooting -- having signed himself out of the hospital against doctors' advice. In court, he was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse in a rape case involving a 19-year-old fan. (Eric Mille / Associated Press / December 1, 1994) |
Until the night he was murdered in 1996, the rap star insisted that associates of Sean "Diddy" Combs were behind the brutal ambush at the Quad. New information - FBI records and exclusive interviews with individuals who were at the studio that night - support his suspicions. Accompanied by a vivid photo-gallery of the cast of characters, copies of confidential documents, an interactive timeline and audio of lyrics and videos from Shakur and Notorious B.I.G., Philips pieces together a case that has left many in the music world as well as law enforcement officials baffled.
