Local authorities have confirmed that Las Vegas Metropolitan Police served a search warrant on Monday in nearby Henderson, Nevada related to the unsolved 1996 shooting of hip-hop icon Tupac Shakur on the Las Vegas Strip. That, according to multiple reports.
“The search warrant that we conducted is in connection with the Tupac Shakur case,” Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jason Johansson told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“It has been a while” since the shooting, Johansson said. “It’s a case that’s gone unsolved and hopefully one day we can change that.”
Shakur was 25 when he was gunned down near the Las Vegas Strip. The musician was struck by two rounds in the chest, one in the arm and one in the thigh while sitting in a vehicle on the night of the Mike Tyson-Bruce Seldon fight. He died at a hospital six days later.
The events of that evening and questions surrounding the unsolved case have been the subject of numerous film and TV explorations, including U.S.A.’s 2018 series Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and Biggie Smalls, the 2017 doc Who Shot Biggie and Tupac?, the 2017 biopic All Eyez on Me from Summit, Morgan Creek, Program Pictures and Codeblack Films, Nick Broomfield’s 2002 feature-length documentary Biggie & Tupac, FX’s Emmy-nominated series Dear Mama: The Saga of Afeni and Tupac Shakur, which premiered earlier this year, the Oscar-nominated film Tupac: Resurrection and many more.
Shakur produced five No. 1 albums in a career that lasted as many years. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.

Thank goodness. I can now sleep peacefully for the first time in about 27 years.
Tupak is dead from the code of black omerta that exists in the rap music industry.
Ain’t no one snitching, at least more than once.
[omerta]
I learned a new word today! :)
cRap is the anthem of a culture that promotes violence and respects nothing else. When a cRapper (like Sixpak) gets murdered, they’re just reaping the whirlwind. Police should spare taxpayers the expense by writing it off as “Death By Natural Causes” and closing the book.
I was going to point out a glaring exception, Takashi 6ix9ine, who was all about snitching the crap out of everyone.... but it turns out he was recently and savagely beaten..... so it looks like you are right.
I remember people telling me about it when it happened acting as though it were a big deal. I just had one question: Who is this “Two Pack”? I’d never heard of him. Then again, I don’t listen to (c)rap.
As it was, the investigation stalled due to police errors and possible misconduct and the rap music industry code of silence. The leading theory is that Christopher Wallace, known as The Notorious B.I.G., was behind the killing of Tupac and that his later death by gunfire was in retribution. Like Tupac, Notorious B.I.G.'s death is unsolved.

Wise choice
I do, when I’m pumping my gas, and some idiot pulls up to the gas station, destroying his speakers.
Is Jack Smith going to indict Trump for this too ???
who really cares, really. Gangbangers die everyday in chicago
“inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.”
So much for any credibility with that organization.
After nearly 30 years, police are still investigating the crime, gathering evidence, etc. Contrast that with the White House cocaine case, where the investigation was shut down after 10 days, and evidence destroyed.
I always wanted to invent a device that you could point toward the offending “sylstem”, squeeze an activator and fry the speakers.
Maybe in another 23 years, we’ll find out why that guy killed 53 people in Las Vegas.
Odds are there were more than that one guy - most likely CIA, FIB, etc contributed to the mass shooting....
I’ll buy one!!

Epps is claiming his reputation got hurt by public speculation that he was working undercover for the Federal government.
Besides being true, why would the court consider such a label harmful?
If he wasn’t there working for the Feds than he’s an “insurrectionist” like all the other J6 protesters.
The smaller brother of 6 pack.
