LA pays over rapper death

Los Angeles has agreed to pay US$1.1 million ($1,856,335) in legal costs to the family of slain rapper Notorious B. I. G. because of police errors during a wrongful death case brought against the city and its police department.

Christopher Wallace, or Notorious B. I. G., was shot and killed in 1997 after a party at the Petersen Automotive Museum. The murder has not been solved.

His family's lawsuit claimed a corrupt LAPD officer - David Mack, now a convicted bank robber - arranged to have Wallace killed.
