Tupac Shakur's murder pt. 2

There are a few theories on how Tupac Shakur's homicide occurred:

Theory #1
The first theory is from former LA Times journalist Chuck Philips, who believes that Orlando Anderson, the Crips gang, and none other than Biggie Smalls all are responsible for the murder.
Chuck Philips

Chuck Philips and the LA Times investigated the murder over the course of a year and came up with the following conclusions based on anonymous sources. Conclusion one, members of the Southside Crips were involved in the shooting as retaliation for Tupac’s beating of Orlando Anderson. Conclusion two, Anderson was the shooter. Conclusion three, Biggie Smalls paid $1 million for the murder of Tupac and supplied the gun. Biggie had a potential motive for wanting Tupac dead. Biggie’s year-long feud with Tupac was well known and at the forefront of the east coast, west coast rap rivalry including a reported verbal altercation and diss tracks. In one track titled Hit ‘Em Up, Tupac claimed he had slept with Biggie’s wife, Faith Evans. Strangely, according to Philips, neither Biggie nor anyone connected to him was questioned by the police. As for Orlando Anderson, the believed shooter, he was shot to death in May 1998. Up until his death, Anderson denied responsibility for Tupac’s death and was never charged.
Theory #2
Suge Knight

The second theory is from former LAPD detective Russell Poole, who believes that Suge Knight set up the murder. Despite Suge Knight also being hit in the shooting, Poole believed Knight may have motives. Motive one, Suge Knight apparently owed Tupac a huge amount of money, by some accounts $3 million, a theory corroborated by the fact that Afeni Shakur, Tupac’s mother sued Death Row and Knight in 1997 for mishandling funds and taking millions of dollars from her son. Motive two, Tupac intended to leave Death Row Records, Suge Knight’s label. Tupac had recently fired his lawyer David Kenner, who, in addition to being Knight’s lawyer, also wrote up Tupac’s agreement with Suge’s label. Sure enough, a week after the firing, Knight invited Tupac to the fateful boxing match. Shortly after their brawls in the MGM lobby, Knight stopped to make a phone call while everyone else was fleeing the scene. Knight also insisted that Tupac ride with him in his car after the boxing match. Orlando Anderson, the man who Tupac fought with in MGM also contradicted his initial testimony, at first saying Knight was part of the MGM brawl, but then later saying that Knight was trying to break up the fight, stating “I’ve seen him pulling people off of me.” Many people believe this turnaround happened because of a payoff by Knight. Detective Poole also claims the bullet wound Knight says he received that night was never verified by the hospital, the police or any other witnesses. This contradicts the 2014 report from former Las Vegas police sergeant Chris Carroll, who stated that Knight’s head was “gushing blood” and that he had “clearly been hit in the head.” Carroll also mentioned that Knight showed legitimate concern and that “it wasn’t acting. This is not the guy who had him killed, it’s ridiculous.”

Criminal Profiling - George Metesky "The Mad Bomber of New York"

C riminal profiling (CP) is the practice of predicting a criminal’s mental, emotional, personality, behavioural, and demographic characteristics. It is an investigative tool, a  method of suspect identification , we could say, used by law enforcement agencies (LEA), which is a government agency responsible for the enforcement of the laws. This practice is being utilized by police agencies around the world despite no compelling scientific evidence that it is reliable, valid, or useful. Criminal profiling traces its origins back in 1888 with the killing spree of Jack the Ripper and in 1940s when the  American   Strategic Services’ office  asked the psychiatrist Walter Langer to trace Adolf Hitler’s profile. After World War Two, Lionel Haward, a psychologist that worked for the Royal Air Force and later on for the university of Surrey drew up a list of the characteristics that equated high-ranking nazi criminals of war; the technique was used by doctor James Bru...

The culprit, a mad man with no clear motive. The world’s most notorious serial killer, Jack the Ripper. While most believe the Ripper claimed the lives of only five, now referred to as “The Canonical Five”, others believe the Ripper claimed the lives of up to 11 women. All five of the canonical victims were prostitutes, as many women in the Whitechapel District had to turn to prostitution as a way to survive. The morbid intrigue is not a recent development. The murders were covered in the newspaper ...
