TUPAC SHAKUR’S DEATH
Record producer Suge Knight was driving the Changes hitmaker back to his accommodation after they had finished watching a boxing match between Mike Tyson and Bruce Seldon at the MGM Grand Hotel.
A car pulled up next to the BMW and an unknown person shot at Tupac four times. He took two bullets to the chest, one in the thigh and one in the arm.
The rapper died six days later at the age of 25 in hospital from his wounds. Tupac’s murderer is still at large.
On Tupac’s murderer, journalist Stephenie Frederic said: “If you ask the Las Vegas police department, they’ll tell you it’s because, ‘Well, the people who know aren’t talking’. When you talk to the people who do know, they’re like, ‘oh, that situation is handled’.”
She says there are “too many dirty details, too many people who will come under fire and too many secrets that will probably get out, that shouldn’t be out. There’s so many entanglements.”
