Kevin Gaines was a corrupt police officer working for the LAPD. It is believed he, along with other officers illegally worked security for Death Row Records. Undercover Officer Frank LYGA shot him twice after he was threatened by him in a road rage incident. WIKIPEDIA: 'Around 4:00 p.m. on March 18, 1997, undercover LAPD officer Frank Lyga shot and killed Kevin Gaines in self-defense, following a case of apparent road rage.[1][2] According to Lyga and other witnesses testimonies, Gaines pulled his green Mitsubishi Montero up to Lyga's Buick. A confrontation ensued, with Gaines flashing gang signs at Officer Lyga.[2] Gaines followed Lyga, brandishing a .45 ACP handgun. Lyga took out his gun and called for backup using a hidden radio activated by a foot pedal. Lyga's voice can be heard on police recordings, "Hey, I got a problem. I've got a black guy in a green Jeep coming up here! He's got a gun!"

Pulling up at a stop light, Lyga later testified that he heard Gaines shout, "I'll cap you". Lyga fired his 9×19mm Beretta 92 into the SUV twice, lodging one bullet in Gaines' heart. Lyga radioed one final transmission: "I just shot this guy! I need help! Get up here!" '
