HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — An amateur video has surfaced showing footage from an infamous 1997 Vibe Awards party in which the Notorious B.I.G. was shot and killed shortly after he left.

The affair held at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles included the likes of Diddy, J.U.N.I.O.R. Mafia, Da Brat, Aaliyah and Jermaine Dupri. At one point during the more than seven-minute long video, apparently shot in eastern time, Diddy is seen dancing to “All About the Benjamins.”

Other stars in attendance include Missy Elliott, Irv Gotti, DJ Klark Kent, DJ Clue, Chris Tucker and Ginuwine.

Biggie left the scene at 12:30 a.m. after fire officials closed down the party due to overcrowding. He was sitting in the front passenger seat of a GMC Suburban when the driver of a black Chevy Impala pulled up and opened fire as his vehicle waited at a red light.

B.I.G., whose real name was Christopher Wallace, was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center by his entourage, but was pronounced dead at 1:15 a.m.
