Details on the Las Vegas Shooting

|
On Friday, September 13, 1996 the successful rapper and actor Tupac Shakur died at a Las Vegas hospital. Tupac died of gunshot wounds. He was shot on the night of Saturday, September 7 after watching a boxing main event match between Mike Tyson and Bruce Seldon. After the fight, he went 4 miles north to his friend and Death Row Records producer Marrion "Suge" Knight's house. When he arrived, the two headed to go to a nightclub in a black BMW.
The nightclub they were going to was to be the place where they were gonna celebrate the Tyson fight win with fellow rapper Run DMC. But they never made it to the nightclub, when a white 1996 Cadillac pulled up to their car and fired 14 bullets into their BMW. Tupac was hit 4 times- twice in the chest, once in the shoulder, and once in the right thigh. Suge Knight was hit once slightly in the head. Suge still had some power left in him, so he swerved the car around, made a perfect U turn, and fleed out of there. One minute later they were pulled over by cops. The cops opened the door and saw what has happened. They immediately radioed for an ambulance. When they arrived at the hospital, Tupac was in critical condition and Suge was released from the hospital a day after. Later Tupac had to go into surgery and have a lung transplant. He remained in critical condition for a few days until Friday when he died. Police are still looking for suspects of the shooting. A lot of people think it may have been Biggie Smalls (The Notorious BIG) who fired at the BMW, because of his past feuds with Tupac. Tupac and Biggie always argued about which coast is better, East or West. Tupac also claims to have slept with Biggie's wife. So there's no love lost between Tupac and Biggie. Some also think it may have been Sean Puffy Combs, since Puffy and Suge Knight have their differences. Puffy's East coast rap label Bad Boy Entertainment always got into fight's with Knight's West coast label Death Row Records. Others think it was just a gang related drive-by shooting.

This Site's Mission
The site showcases Tupac Shakur, a multi-talented legend, who was born in the Bronx, New York on June 16, 1971 and died from fatal gun shot wounds in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 13, 1996.
He is considered by many to be the greatest rapper of all time.
2Pac's lyrics always went deep into the meaning of many political and social subjects including violence, drug abuse, teenage pregnancy and broken families.
2Pac was well read as noted by his extensive reading list. 2Pac's poetry also reflected his many sides, some poems were motivated by love, some sought self-understanding and others were angry responses to the cruel injustices of American society.
Not only famous for his music, he was also a well respected actor with several films.
2Pac was down to die for everything he represented. He was very open and always expressed his mind. Some people consider 2Pac a modern-day prophet. Reading some of 2Pac's interviews, lyrics and quotes, its not hard to see why.
Being real and upfront, trouble always seemed to come naturally. Tupac was charged with rape, a crime he did not commit, but was still convicted of sodomy (forcibly touching the buttocks). Many witnesses seen the girl who made these accusations voluntarily give 2Pac oral sex on a night club dance floor. Tupac was also charged with shooting two off-duty police officers, but those charges were dropped due to insufficient evidence.
The fatal shooting in Vegas was the second shooting 2Pac was involved. The first occured in 1994 in New York.
Most likely, 2Pac's killer was Orlando Anderson, a south-side crip. Theories abound as to who coordinated the hit. Some believe it happened spur of the moment out of Orlando's rage. Others believe Suge Knight had 2Pac killed. The Las Vegas Times recently reported Biggie Smalls had 2Pac killed. Still others, believe it was an elaborate scheme and 2Pac is still alive (he faked his own death).
This site contains pictures of 2Pac, the latest news about 2Pac products and projects, information on 2Pac's tattoos, and anything else 2Pac related. The mission of this site is to show all sides of Tupac -- his thoughts, inspirations, and direction in life. All of this is to be shown through Tupac's lyrics, poetry, music videos and interviews.
