of allegations that he was responsible for the shooting of Shakur Rival Christopher “Biggie Smalls” Wallace in 1997 (while he was incarcerated for 9 years). In fact, even now Knight is held pending trial where he stands accused of running a man with his truck in what he contends to be yet another attempt on his life.
Knight’s reactions to the events laid out in “Compton” were “Who are these guys?” and “How did these guys put all this together?” before he admitted to Culpepper that the theories in the movie were in fact true. Bond had met with Knight’s private investigators, who were interested in how this information was collected, and Bond and Carlin stand by their insistence that Knight was a victim in Vegas, at One Oak and in the Compton incident Knight is currently pending trial for. For their part, Bond and Carlin suggest that this is the third eyewitness collaboration of “Compton’s” theory of the shooting; the late Frank Alexander testified to the suspect vehicle. Yafeu Fula (one of Shakur’s back up artists) gave a description of the vehicle’s driver to Vegas Police, which bears an uncanny resemblance to a person of interest in a “confession letter” featured in “Compton.” Now Knight’s confirmation of the story laid out in “Compton” may put a final stamp to close this mystery- after 20 years.
This closure would certainly be a fitting end for an artist whose life will be celebrated April 7, 2017 as he is inducted into the 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; the producers of Compton hope he can finally rest in peace.
