Poole spoke further about his theory in the 2002 documentary Biggie & Tupac. Poole believed Knight's power over the police blocked a deeper investigation from happening. It is documented within the FBI files that off-duty LAPD officers worked as security guards at Death Row events. During his investigation, he suspected that Death Row label head Suge Knight was behind the killing and enlisted the help of a LAPD officer to arrange it, but no charges were filed against him. ![]() Russell Poole was the lead detective in Smalls' murder case. Did Suge Knight and the LAPD cover up Biggie's death? In the months after, there were fights between members and associates of Shakur's label Death Row Records and Smalls' label Bad Boy Records at events, according to the FBI documents. ![]() Smalls was also at the studio with members of his entourage, leading Shakur to believe Smalls knew about his assailant.
