Biggie Smalls was shot in a drive-by at the intersection of Fairfax Ave and Wilshire Blvd on March 9, 1997 after leaving a Vibe Magazine party in Los Angeles with his entourage. They were able to drive to nearby Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. His second studio album, a double disc set called Life After Death, was released fifteen days later on March 25.
