The rapper and actor's death in 1996 has fueled years of speculation about who would have wanted him killed. Las Vegas police now say it was orchestrated by a gang leader.
after a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas remained a high-profile cold case for almost 30 years, stoking rap rivalry conspiracies and media coverage around who would want the influential hip-hop star and actor dead., one of four people thought to have been in the white Cadillac that pursued Shakur on Sept. 7, 1996.
"It's a story that has captivated people for a generation now," said Jeffrey Ogbar, a professor of history at the University of Connecticut and author of"Hip-Hop Revolution: The Culture and Politics of Rap." The night he was shot, Shakur attended a Mike Tyson-Bruce Seldon prizefight with Marion"Suge" Knight, the founder of Death Row Records, Shakur's label.
"Tupac unfortunately fell victim," Ogbar said."By all accounts, they would say he was not a gangster, but when he started to hang out with gangsters at Death Row, he adopted a lot of those sensibilities."An incident the night that Shakur was killed was known to police, but discounted. Authorities never vigorously pursued Anderson, who denied his involvement in Shakur's shooting and died two years later in an unrelated gang shootout. Police also failed to follow up with a member of Shakur's entourage who said he could identify the assailants — that witness also later died, according to the Times.
