Tupac’s music lives on, even though nearly three decades have passed since his death. There are also questions about what happened the day he died and who might have shot him. Investigators in the case are looking for new leads. They searched a house in the suburbs of Las Vegas.
He was murdered 27 years ago, and his death remains unsolved to this day, but perhaps the police are getting closer to the truth and who killed Tupac.
“This is a case that has remained unresolved and I hope that one day we will change that,” said Las Vegas Police Lieutenant Jason Johansson.
Nearly three decades after the death of one of history’s most influential rappers, investigators searched a home in Henderson, Nevada. According to witnesses, around 10 p.m. on Monday, several cars of the Las Vegas metropolitan police arrived at the scene.
– I am surprised. They’re good neighbors. I don’t know them personally, but I haven’t had any major problems with them either, says Zachary Perez, a Henderson resident.
The house is said to belong to Duane Keith Davis, a member of the California East Coast gang. It was the dispute with the gang that was supposed to be the reason for the murder of the artist. – This theory about Davis’s connection to Tupac’s death has been around for years and nobody looked at it. Where have the services been all these years? This is one of the puzzles. It’s been almost 30 years, points out Mopreme Shakur, Tupac Shakur’s half-brother.
