LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police
suspect that jailed music producer
Marion “Suge” Knight played a
prominent role in the ambush slay
ing of rapper Notorious B.I.G., the
Los Angeles Times reported today.
Authorities declined to give de
tails on what evidence they have
linking Knight to the killing, the
newspaper reported, citing uniden
tified police sources. No charges
have been filed against Knight in
the case.
Today, Police confirmed that
search warrants were served this
week but described Knight as only
a possible suspect.
“He was in custody at the time,
so he didn’t pull the trigger,” said
Lt. Al Michelena of the depart
ment's robbery-homicide unit.
“We are investigating the possibil
ity of him being implicated in this.
We would certainly consider him a
possible suspect.”
Michelena told The Associated
Press he would have to remain
vague. Affidavits filed to obtain the
search warrants have been sealed,
he said.
Notorious B.I.G., whose real
name was Christopher Wallace,
was riding in his CMC Suburban
when he was shot several times on
March 9. 1997.
He was pronounced dead at the
hospital.
On Tuesday, detectives served
search warrants on four locations
linked to Knight.
Police seized a Chevrolet Im-
pala that matches witnesses’ de
scription of the car used in the dri-
ve-by killing, the Times said.
Police also searched tl
of Death Row Records, the cc
ny Knight founded and huil
one of the hottest rap labels i
country.

While most students have completed a bachelor’s de
gree before enrollment in the College of Medicine, some
students enroll with a minimum of 60 semesters hours,
and others with 90, according to information provided
by the College of Medicine.
Students applying to the College of Medicine must
submit a minimum of two evaluations from professors,
in addition to letters of recommendation from previous
work supervisors, medically related preceptors and re
search mentors.
Applicants to the College of Medicine are interviewed
by faculty admissions committee members, student ad
missions committee members and faculty guest inter
viewers.
Denise Boudreaux, a representative for Women in
Medicine and a first year student at the College of Med
icine, said the application process can be overwhelm
ing.
"The medical school application process is very in
tricate and very strenuous,” Boudreaux said.
"We hope to prepare the students mentally for what
medical school will be like.
“The interviewing process is not a direct process.
There are things you need to think about, in an inter
view-oriented manner. It is almost difficult to put into
words.”
