Orlando Tive "Baby Lane" Anderson (August 13, 1974 – May 29, 1998) was an alleged affiliate of the South Side Crips and a person of interest in the investigation into the murder of rapper Tupac Shakur by Compton and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Departments. Specifically Detective Tim Brennan of Compton filed an affidavit naming Anderson as a suspect, although fans and others have speculated as to Anderson's involvement since the killing.〔(Associateds.info )〕 He was never charged with the murder. Anderson had been a friend of late Compton rapper Eazy-E, who had enjoyed a close and fruitful relationship with the South Side Compton Crips for many years. == Murder of Tupac Shakur == In 2002, ''The Los Angeles Times'' published a two-part series by reporter Chuck Philips titled "Who Killed Tupac Shakur?" based on a series that looked into the events leading to the crime. The series indicated that "the shooting was carried out by a Compton gang called the Southside Crips to avenge the beating of one of its members by Shakur a few hours earlier. Orlando Anderson, the Crip whom Shakur had attacked, fired the fatal shots. Las Vegas police interviewed Anderson only once as a possible suspect. He was later killed in an unrelated gang shooting." The ''L.A. Times'' articles included reference to the cooperation of East Coast rappers including the late rapper The Notorious B.I.G., Tupac's rival at the time, and New York criminals. Before they died, the late rapper The Notorious B.I.G. (who was killed on March 9, 1997) and Anderson denied a role in the murder. In support of that, Biggie's family produced computerized invoices showing that he was working in a New York recording studio the night of the drive-by shooting. His manager Wayne Barrow and fellow rapper James "Lil' Cease" Lloyd made public announcements denying Biggie had a role in the crime and stating that they were both with him in the recording studio on the night of the shooting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Notorious B.I.G.'s Family 'Outraged' By Tupac Article )〕 ''The New York Times'' called the evidence produced by Biggie's family "inconclusive" noting: The pages purport to be three computer printouts from Daddy's House, indicating that Wallace was in the studio recording a song called ''Nasty Boy'' on the afternoon Shakur was shot. They indicate that Wallace ''wrote half the session,'' was ''In and out/sat around'' and ''laid down a ref,'' shorthand for a reference vocal, the equivalent of a first take. But nothing indicates when the documents were created. And Louis Alfred, the recording engineer listed on the sheets, said in an interview that he remembered recording the song with Wallace in a late-night session, not during the day. He could not recall the date of the session but said it was likely not the night Shakur was shot. ''We would have heard about it,'' Mr. Alfred said." Assistant Managing Editor of the ''LA Times'' Mark Duvoisin defended Philips' articles, stating they were based on police affidavits and court documents as well as interviews with investigators, witnesses to the crime and members of the Southside Crips. Duvoisin stated: "Philips' story has withstood all challenges to its accuracy, ...() remains the definitive account of the Shakur slaying." The main thrust of Philips' articles, implicating Anderson and the Crips, was later corroborated by former LAPD Detective Greg Kading's 2011 book ''Murder Rap''〔(Murder of Tupac )〕 and discussed in author Cathy Scott's book ''The Killing of Tupac Shakur''. She debunked the theory in a ''People'' magazine article, saying there was no evidence pointing to Biggie Smalls as a suspect.〔(People.com )〕 Also, ''The New York Times'' wrote, " The ''Los Angeles Times'' articles did not offer any documentation to show that Wallace was in Las Vegas that night."〔 In her 2002 book (with a new edition in 2014), ''The Killing of Tupac Shakur'', Cathy Scott〔 reviews various theories, including the Suge Knight/Death Row theory of Tupac's murder before stating, "Years after the primary investigations, it's still anyone's guess. No one was ever arrested but no one was ever ruled out as a suspect, either." She then wrote that one theory "transcends all the others, and implicates the white-record-company power brokers themselves," implicating the bosses of the Suge Knight label. In recent years, archived letters of her responses to readers show an evolution toward Anderson as a suspect and a dismissal of the Knight theory.〔(''Archived Letters'' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Orlando Anderson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
