Goodman punched holes in the government’s case, and the jury acquitted Chagra. It was a shocking verdict after the FBI conducted its most extensive investigation since the Kennedy assassination. On the trial’s 40th anniversary, Goodman and Chagra’s eldest daughter, Catherine, will look back at the case and what it meant for Goodman and the Chagra family.</p>

Shakur died six days later at a local hospital. Shakur’s death was devastating to his family, friends and millions of fans. It also further inflamed tensions between rival record companies on the West and East coasts, as well as between the street gangs associated with them. In conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the tragedy, a panel discussion at The Mob Museum explored the events leading to Shakur’s death, the police investigations that followed, and Shakur’s cultural legacy. Panelists were rap music legend Chuck D, Tupac music collaborator E.D.I. Mean and retired Los Angeles homicide detective Frederick Reynolds. The discussion was moderated by journalist and film producer Stephanie Frederic.</p></div>
