All the death row guys pounce.

I interviewed Orlando Anderson's closest friend, the guy who was punched.

And he said, there's no way Orlando Anderson could come back to Compton having gotten beat up publicly by a rapper, like by a rapper.

He just couldn't.

Later that night, Orlando Anderson is driving around looking, looking, looking for Tupac.

Chewbacca just randomly is driving down the street, which should night hollering out at women along the strip in Vegas.

Orlando Anderson is like, that's him.

That's him right there.

And they pull up on him and they shoot him.

And it's not even a sexy story because everyone wants a grand puffy or big conspiracy.

The truth of the matter is he punched the wrong person at the wrong time.

And that guy happened to be a member of the Compton Crips and got a revenge killing and killed him.

Oh, no, it's been reported a lot of places as fact.

And then it's surrounded by by myth.

I've talked to investigators.

I've talked to people from death row.

I've talked to people from the Compton Crips.

I talked to Orlando Anderson's best friend.

I personally.

Obviously, when you have a young death and a lot of conspiracy and Vegas and everything, you have a lot of rumors.
