Las Vegas police have executed a search warrant on a home in connection with the unsolved 1996 murder of Tupac Shakur.

Tupac Amaru Shakur was an American rapper and actor who was born in Lesane Parish Crooks on June 16, 1971. He was better known by his stage moniker 2Pac and later by his real name Makaveli. On September 13, 1996, Tupac passed away.

Tupac was 25 years old when he passed away on September 7, 1996, in a drive-by shooting. At 11:15 p.m., when the incident took place, the automobile transporting Tupac came to a stop at a red light on East Flamingo Road and Koval Lane.

Tupac was struck by four.40 calibre bullets fired from a Glock pistol twice in the chest, once in the arm, and once in the thigh. Six days later, due to his injuries and suffering, he passed away in the hospital.

According to reports, police officers began by stopping their car without displaying their license plates and loudly playing music. However, they were quickly freed without being cited.

Minutes after being released, at 11:10 p.m., they came to a stop at a red light intersection where they had a brief conversation with two women they had seen driving near their car. A white four-door Cadillac pulled up next to Knight at precisely 11:15 p.m.

The shooter, seated in the back of the Cadillac, rolled down the window and fired rounds at Tupac’s BMW with a .40 S&W Glock 22.

This shooting’s perpetrator was never identified. Sgt. Kevin Manning, who oversaw the investigation, told Cathy Scott of the Las Vegas Sun’s in-depth reporting a year after the incident that Tupac’s death “may never be solved.”

Shakur’s friend-turned-rival, the Notorious B.I.G., was first thought to be a suspect following his death because of their public animosity, but he was assassinated six months later in a drive-by shooting while visiting Los Angeles.
