Eric Von Zip

Orlando Anderson, on the other hand, he meets up with some of his family members and friends who are members of the Crips, and they, he tells them, "Hey, these guys beat me up in there," and they're like, immediately they're like, "Let's get into action." They're ready to exact vengeance.

And it just so happens that they run into a guy, um, a man named Eric Von Zip Martin, and this is according to Davis, Keffe D.

He says they happened to run into him while waiting for their car at the valet, and Eric Von Zip Martin gives them a f- a .40 caliber Glock, and he says, "Now is the time." Um, if I backtrack a little bit, Eric v- Von Zip Martin was one of Keffe D's, uh, clients in his, you know, drug trafficking organization.

The reason this is important is 'cause Eric Von Zip Martin is from New York, and Eric Von Zip Martin was an associate of Sean Puffy Combs of Bad Boy Records, which is the rival of Death Row Records.

Um, and if you followed this trial or followed this case, the accusation has always been, at least coming from Keffe D and other people associated with that case, is that Puffy had put out a million dollars for the Crips to kill Tupac and Suge Knight, okay? So anyway, kismet.

They happen, what a coincidence.

They happen to run into Eric Von Zip Martin.

He gives them the gun.

Maybe I can make that work," and that's how that went.

Did you ever meet Eric Von Zip?

Yeah, I seen Von Zip a couple times.

Okay.

Well, according to Keffe, they met up with Eric Von Zip and he got him some guns.

Yeah.
