I Fight For Those Who No Longer Have Voices

By Michael Douglas Carlin

I was driving on the transition today from the 105 Freeway to the 405 Freeway. The island of land in the middle of the transition has become a tent city. They are popping up all around us. We don't hear anything being said about the disenfranchised by our politicians. I doubt that we will hear any candidate for President talk about them because these are people who don't vote.

I wrote to Police Chief Charlie Beck about an injustice that I personally saw that left our world less safe. I have yet to receive a response. I may never receive one. Many of my friends have asked me why I have inserted myself into this Tupac & Biggie case - reaching out and demanding justice - putting myself out there. I want to be able to tell my kids and grandkids that this world is getting better - that no matter what your personal choices, (religion, sexual preference, beliefs, etc.) or your background (race, gender, handicap, etc.) that you will have equal status under the law... but I can't!

Because it isn't true. 

It ought to be.

I thought when I started uncovering evidence about the murders of Tupac and Biggie that Law Enforcement would easily get involved and solve the cases. I still believe they will... but not because it is the right thing to do! They will only get involved when ten thousand Tupac and Biggie fans demand they reopen the cases and get to the truth. WHEN PEOPLE DEMAND IT, THERE WILL BE JUSTICE FOR TUPAC AND BIGGIE and not one minute before.

Two lives were cut short and we were robbed of their creativity. The world was left worse off on the days they were killed.

Tupac and Biggie brought the plight of the streets into American Living Rooms. Who is doing that now? I am not aware of anyone really doing it. Who is telling America about the tent cities popping up all over our city? I am not hearing it. 

If Tupac were alive today I can't imagine him driving by those tent cities and remaining silent. Tupac wasn't about the money... he was about the message and he was silenced. He would have fought for you - can't ten thousand of you turn around and fight for him? Or are you all cowards?

When an injustice anywhere happens this world is less safe. When people don't stand up for injustices it is only a matter of time until those that are put in harm's way are the same people who don't stand up. It happened in Nazi Germany and it can happen here.

Let's all agree to draw a line in the sand and say that two lives matter only because all lives matter. THEY WOULD HAVE AGREED. Those two lives are part of an era of racism in America. Many have pointed out to me that if two white recording artists had been killed that no stone would have been unturned to bring their killers to justice. I wish I lived in a world where two black rappers murders would have the same effect on law enforcement and the people... but it isn't too late to change! It isn't too late for that world, where all people are treated equal under the law, can be ushered in. But it can only be ushered in if all of AMERICA ushers it in.

Martin Luther King's dream had two parts - that we would not be judged by the color of our skin (I include gender, religion, sexual preference, handicap, beliefs, etc.). But the second part is that we judge by the content of character.

I recently have been reading about a prominent Nazi. He was alarmed by the way Adolf Hitler was being portrayed in books and movies because if we are looking for a monster or madman and not a human we won't recognize the next Adolf Hitler. The killers of Tupac and Biggie may have families, they may have regular problems like all of us... but if they are responsible for killing one, two, or more people they are monsters. They should be brought to justice. WE CANNOT ALLOW ANY MURDER TO GO UNSOLVED!

Draw that line in the sand with me and recognize the monster or madman in these killers and bring them to justice. Some of you have clues to the killings and have never before come forward. Please allow murderers to be arrested, arraigned, charged, and judged in a court of law by the content of their characters. 

America will be a little safer when justice is served.

Please tweet to Police Chief Charlie Beck and ask him why a key piece of evidence was leaked by his department instead of being investigated. Ask him to personally see to it that it gets properly investigated. You can find him on Twitter: @LAPDChiefBeck

Dear Chief Beck,

Re: LAPD Leak of Confession Letter in the Murder of Rapper Tupac Shakur

IA: CF NO 14-001995

            I wish the circumstances behind writing this letter were different. I was in the audience at the downtown Rotary meeting where you filled-in for Connie Rice, while she was delayed and I became a big fan of the transformation inside of LAPD that you and Connie have led. I have often said that meeting was the single best Rotary meeting I ever attended – keep in mind that I was a Rotarian for a decade.

            I am writing to you today about the leak of the Confession Letter to the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur and attempted murder of Suge Knight, given to LAPD’s Deputy Chief Kirk Albanese, Commander Kevin McCarthy, Captain William Hayes and Detective Daryn Dupree on June 24th, 2014. The first leak occurred on July 7, 2014 by Daryn Dupree’s former partner, Greg Kading. The full letter appeared on August 18th, 2014 and six days later Suge Knight was shot in a West Hollywood nightclub by shooters that said as they shot, “you killed Tupac.”

            We have LAPD cold on the leak. RJ Bond placed a special border on the letter and when the leaked letter appeared it was with that special border. A year ago, Russell Poole and RJ Bond filed IA: CF NO 14-001995 – an Internal Affairs Complaint about the letter.

            I wrote to you on January 9th and June 28th and have not had a response. I would request that you officially respond to this email and certified letter to let me know the disposition of that investigation.

            Many in the community have warned me that my life is now in danger. Recently Reggie Wright Jr. threatened RJ Bond on a YouTube Interview. He said, “it’s not over with me and Mister Bond… If I can take out Biggie or Tupac he shouldn’t be no (sic) problem.” RJ Bond, Russell Poole, and I were not the source of the information that blames Reggie Wright for the killing of Tupac Shakur – LAPD was the clear source of this information when they leaked the Confession Letter and thereby derailed the investigation.

            Reggie Wright Jr. is listed by the City of Los Angeles and the LAPD as a suspect in the murder of Christopher Wallace in court documents I obtained in the Wallace Civil Trial and he is the suspect the Confession Letter says plotted the hit on Suge Knight and Tupac Shakur. He also happens to be a friend of Greg Kading who again is Daryn Dupree’s ex-partner. Reggie Wright Jr. is a former Compton Police Officer and son of former Compton Police Officer and LA County Sheriff, Reggie Wright Sr. Many people fear Reggie Wright Jr. because of his strong ties into law enforcement (he hired all the off-duty police for Death Row Records).

            It gets even more convoluted as Cle “Bone” Sloan – the star witness in the current Suge Knight murder trial worked with Daryn Dupree on the movie “End of Watch.” Why was someone so connected to suspects, in charge of the Tupac and Biggie cases? Was this just an oversight? Or was it intentional?

            Kevin Hackie says he handed the Glock .40 that had been ballistics tested by the FBI to Reggie Wright Jr. and he further says that gun was subsequently used to kill rapper Tupac Shakur. Bodyguard Michael Moore was taken off of guarding Tupac Shakur the night of the shooting because he refused Reggie’s order to disarm. Reggie kept Moore close to him at the time of the shooting and Moore tells of hearing, “Got ‘em” come over Wright’s radio when Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight were shot. The letter supports this evidence and tells that the triggerman, Lil ½ Dead (Donald Smith) had the motive of revenge as a reason to kill Tupac Shakur. On Lil ½ Dead’s 2012 album cover for “Dead Serious” you can see an image of the slain Tupac Shakur.

            Let’s give LAPD the benefit of the doubt. If the Confession Letter was inadvertently handed to a Detective not friendly with the suspect in the murder it would have received a proper investigation. All of those allegedly involved would have been pulled in for questioning and Chris Blatchford, who gave us the letter, would have been contacted and interviewed about the origins of that letter. Valuable time and opportunities have been lost because of the LAPD leak. But there is still hope that LAPD will, in the end, do the right thing even though it leads to further entanglements.

            While pouring over the thousands of pages of case files, in writing the book, Tupac:187, we uncovered that Officer Kevin Gaines (boyfriend of Sharitha Knight who according to the author of the letter was also behind the murders) was on special assignment for LAPD in Las Vegas on the night that Tupac and Suge were shot. Frank Lyga has stated publicly that Kevin Gaines’ murder was a sanctioned “hit” by LAPD. Clearly there were several LAPD Officers in Las Vegas that night and uncovering LAPD involvement in the attempted murder of Suge Knight and murder of Tupac Shakur could prove embarrassing to the department but leaking the letter to avoid that embarrassment and covering up that leak will be far more damaging.

             We simply want the TRUTH wherever that leads!

              You were not the Police Chief during the Rampart Scandal Era. Anything that was done then cannot be blamed on you. You have led a sweeping transformation at LAPD and I applaud those efforts. It is now time for total transparency in the leak of this Confession letter and it is time to re-examine all of the corrupt officers during the Rampart era to air their dirty laundry and if possible bring them to justice. If they participated in the murders of Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace they should be held accountable. If they participated in the attempted murder of Suge Knight they should be held accountable. If there were sanctioned “hits” by LAPD officers everybody involved should be held accountable.

            Los Angeles is the most diverse community that has ever existed. Honor that diversity by solving these crimes and bringing the perpetrators to justice. Tupac and Biggie Fans constantly say that if the artists were white no stone would have been unturned to bring the killers to justice. It is hard to argue with those fans when it appears LAPD is stonewalling the investigation.

            You are aware that the first civil trial in the wrongful death suit of Christopher Wallace was ruled a mistrial when it was discovered that LAPD had withheld thousands of pages of documents that implicated off duty LAPD officers in the murder. You are aware the testimony of Ya May Cristle implicates LAPD in destroying thousands of documents that point to LAPD involvement in the murder of Christopher Wallace. You are also aware that the testimony of Waymond Anderson that derailed the second civil trial was coerced as documents were snuck in for him to review for the case and his testimony was coached. Are we to believe that LAPD had no involvement in rapper Tupac Shakur’s Murder?

            Please examine the clues we have uncovered since the publishing of the book and the clues that continue to pour in. Please help protect those, whose lives are now in danger because of the leak of the Confession Letter in the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur. Many people who were witnesses or sought the truth are now dead but the truth is seeping out and it cannot be stopped.

            Both Russell Poole and I are your partners in bringing the killers to justice. Russell has 19 years with the department and has a very good handle on what steps are necessary to get indictments and convictions. We have posted a snapshot of the relevant information here:

http://www.americannewsservice.org/2015/06/facts-behind-murder-of-tupac-shakur.html

             I have been told that the information in the murder of Mickey Thompson was not near as compelling as this information and that led to a conviction that withstood an appeal. These cases can be solved and the perpetrators can be brought to justice. 

I look forward to seeing this through to a positive conclusion.

All the best,

Michael Douglas Carlin
