Six months before Tupac Shakur was shot and killed in September 1996 in Las Vegas, he and the man who would ultimately be charged with his murder came face-to-face in a rap-world showdown, according to newly released grand jury records.
One of the last living witnesses to the fatal drive-by shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas was charged with murder with use of a deadly weapon in the 1996 killing.
In the time leading up to Shakur's killing, Wright, a former law enforcement officer and the son of a one-time Compton Police gang unit lieutenant, worked security for Knight's Death Row Records. Shakur had become one of Death Row's top artists, joining the label in 1995. A rivalry had already been "escalating" between East Coast and West Coast record labels and the gangs to which they had ties, fueled by bad blood, insults - perceived, real and even put to rap lyrics -- and inter-party violence, Wright said.
Wright testified in Vegas that Shakur was "the most vocal" in the argument, "and he started yelling towards" Biggie and his entourage.
