Tupac murdered in Las Vegas shooting

The backstory:

On Sept. 7, 1996, Tupac Shakur was in the passenger seat of a black BMW and Death Row Records co-founder Marion  Suge  Knight was driving. Shakur and Knight had just watched Mike Tyson defeat Bruce Seldon in a boxing match and were traveling to a nightclub where Shakur was scheduled to perform.

At a red light near the Las Vegas Strip, a white Cadillac pulled up beside them, and a shooting occurred. Shakur was shot multiple times and died six days later, while Knight survived with minor injuries. Knight is serving a 28-year prison sentence for a deadly hit-and-run.

No weapon was found in Knight and Shakur's car, according to retired Las Vegas police Detective Clifford Mogg, who was assigned to the investigation in early 2018.

The Associated Press reported that the case went cold until Davis began making public statements about his involvement as a leader of the South Side Compton Crips.

In 2019, he published a tell-all memoir. The book, along with interviews Davis gave, revived the police investigation.

Shakur's legendary rap career was highlighted by more than 75 million records worldwide with hits including  California Love,   Changes  and  Dear Mama.
