Unsolved Biggie and Tupac

[SPECTRE1]

On May 2, 1973, at about 12:45 a.m.,[51] Assata Shakur, along with Zayd Malik Shakur (born James F. Costan) and Sundiata Acoli (born Clark Squire), were stopped on the New Jersey Turnpike in East Brunswick for driving with a broken tail light by State Trooper James Harper, backed up by Trooper Werner Foerster in a second patrol vehicle.[52] The vehicle was also "slightly" exceeding the speed limit.[51][53] Recordings of Trooper Harper calling the dispatcher were played at the trials of both Acoli and Assata Shakur.[52][54] The stop occurred 200 yards (183 m) south of what was then the Turnpike Authority administration building.[51][54][55] Acoli was driving the two-door vehicle, Assata Shakur was seated in the right front seat, and Zayd Shakur was in the right rear seat.[56][a] Trooper Harper asked the driver for identification, noticed a discrepancy, asked him to get out of the car, and questioned him at the rear of the vehicle.[51]

It is at this point, with the questioning of Acoli, that the accounts of the confrontation begin to differ (see the witnesses section below).[57] However, in the ensuing shootout, Trooper Foerster was shot twice in the head with his own gun and killed,[52][57] Zayd Shakur was killed, and Assata Shakur and Trooper Harper were wounded.

I am surprised they are talking about this 20 years later, I always suspected a link to this incident. You have a law enforcement death where the perpetrator has gotten refuge in another country. Many authoritarian regimes such as the DPRK or drug cartels will resort to attacking family members that remain if a person defects. If you talk to many defectors, they are aware that their family will tortured or killed as a result of their actions. This is to discourage other high level defections from the country. It is being alleged in the news that Russia was involved with using a nerve agent with a former spy that sought refuge in Britain. It is about sending a message that you have no refuge in another country.

In this situation, this brazen murder was to show what can happen if you somehow escape justice when an officer is killed.

Here may have been attempt to pressure Assata Shakur to return and demonstrate the possible consequences if she remained in Cuba. This shooting remained relatively unsolved again for some strange reason. In current news, we allegedly see the Russians going after people 10, 20 years later and even assassinating them alongside their children with the same nerve agent.
