The night Tupac and Suge Knight were shot in Las Vegas, Las Vegas Police Department found that just prior to the shooting, a Compton gang member by the name of Orlando had been beaten by Suge, Tupac, and Mob gang members at the MGM Grand.
The only Orlando that we knew as a Compton gang member was Orlando Anderson of the South Side Crips (SSC). The SSC are enemies of the associates of Death Row Records (DDR), which include the Mob Pirus, Leuders Park Piru, and Elm Lane Piru, but there were no know major incidents between the sets for sometime.
Tupac and Suge were shot the night of September 7, 1996. Most of the Compton gang members involved had returned to Compton on September 8th, and 9th. As we were coordinating with LVPD, contacting informants, and gathering information, the City of Compton was the battleground. The next 5 days in Compton, the toll would be 3 murders and 11 attempted murders as a result of this feud. The Gang Unit was working many hours investigating these murders and attempted murder scenes. Interviewing numerous gang members and informants, conferring with LVPD and LASD, and kicking in doors seizing several weapons, ammunition, and gang intelligence information and photos.
