DJ Quik Details L.A.P.D.'s Initial Pursuit Of Him In The Notorious B.I.G. Murder Investigation
“They know who killed that man,” scoffed
DJ Quik in response to those files before concluding his recent
eye-popping interview with HipHopDX. “You know they picked me up for questioning about that shyt before?”
In 1998, at the conclusion of his third verse to “You’z A Ganxta,” Quik briefly referenced the Los Angeles Police Department’s initial suspicions of his involvement in the shooting.
“Just because I was there at that [
VIBE] party [with Biggie before the shooting], they tapped my phones, found out my accountant’s number and went and posted up and waited for me at my accountant’s office to pick me up for questioning,” recalled Quik.
“And it was only because I owned a ’95 [Chevy] Impala [SS] that was black cherry colored like the one that was used supposedly in the shooting – which was probably black, mine was burgundy, but at night they look identical in color.”
While the L.A.P.D. sought out Quik to question him about his ownership of the same make and model car seen by eyewitnesses speeding away from the scene of the shooting, they never interviewed their then fellow L.A.P.D. officer David Mack. Mack, who also owned an Impala fitting the description of the alleged shooter’s vehicle, is the man onetime lead detective on the case, Russell Poole, has long suspected of arranging the hit on The Notorious B.I.G.
“When they came to my accountant’s [office] to come get me, I ended up calling my lawyer and I told him what was going on,” continued Quik regarding his ordeal as murder suspect. “So he called the Parker Center and arranged for me to go up there and talk to ‘em, instead of them gafflin’ me up and making a scene. So I went down there and told ‘em
everything I knew, everything I saw, the whole shyt. And after I did that the burden was off. ‘Cause it was rumors in the street that I did that shyt. How am I gonna kill Biggie Smalls when I like him? Who does that?!”
