Snoop Dogg’s 1993 Murder Charge Sealed. In 1993, rapper Calvin Broadus Jr. was charged with murder in connection with a shooting that took place in Los Angeles.

Snoop Dogg’s 1993 Murder Charge Sealed.
According to TMZ, Snoop was arrested after performing at the MTV Awards show (1993). It was ironic that Snoop performed his hit song “Murder Was The Case.”
In August 1993, Snoop Dogg and his bodyguard, McKinley Lee, were arrested. An alleged shooting took place in a Los Angeles park in 1993.
Philip Woldemarian from a rival gang was shot to death, and Snoop was accused of being involved. At the time, Snoop was a rising star in hip-hop. But it looks like his career could have been over before it began.
The trial garnered a lot of media attention and put a spotlight on Snoop Dogg’s association with gang culture. Fortunately, after a not-guilty verdict in 1996, Snoop was visibly shaken with relief.
Some, though, Snoop dodges a bullet. While others thought he was not guilty of the crime.
Details Of the Sealed Court Documents
It was just released, and Snoop asked for the court case to be sealed in January 2024. After careful consideration, Snoop’s 1993 murder case documents were sealed.
The very next month, the judge signed off on the case. We learned that Snoop’s bodyguard, Malik, was the alleged shooter. And Malik shot Philip in self-defense.
This sealing of the court case prevents the public from accessing essential details. In other words, knowing one can, including witnesses, will not subject them to retaliation.
And, although the murder happened many years ago, you just never know what could happen.
This revelation has sparked renewed interest in the case and raised questions about why the documents were sealed in the first place.
