2Pac‘s murder may be finally on its way to getting solved, as Las Vegas police have served a search warrant at a home in connection with the 1996 shooting.
According to the local Fox 5 station in Las Vegas, the LVMPD made entry into an unspecified home on Tuesday (July 18). No further details have been released as of press time.
This is a developing story.

2Pac (real name Tupac Shakur) died on September 13, 1996, six days after he was shot near the intersection of East Flamingo Road and Koval Lane in Las Vegas. He was just 25 years old.
Nearly 27 years later, the death still remains unsolved. Just last month, 2Pac’s father claimed that the murder was arranged by the U.S government, and knew for a “fact” that the late rapper was being tailed by the feds prior to his death.

In an interview with The Art of Dialogue, 2Pac’s biological father Billy Garland opened up about his son’s untimely demise and said he never should have fought Orlando Anderson in Las Vegas the night of his death.
“He never should have did that,” Garland said of the scuffle, which took place in the lobby of the MGM Grand following the Bruce Seldon vs. Mike Tyson boxing fight. “‘Pac just got hyper and he thought he had to lead.
“If you notice in the video, everybody was following him around. He’s the money-maker. Death Row was the $100million thing, but everybody’s following 2Pac. Think about that logic.”

He continued: “Everything he did, everybody attached themselves to him, and he felt obligated to prove that ‘I’m gonna be your leader.’ And he struck [Orlando] first, only because someone had told him that this is the guy who stole the Death Row medallion.
“Now, the way he did it was off-limits. Cameras every-fucking-where, c’mon, but that’s the irrational shit you do. And you know that broke my heart, but a lot of little shit that he did. But look at all the good shit that he did. Now look what he did, look what he’s done. I don’t think it’ll be done again.”
While 2Pac’s murder remains unsolved, Billy Garland isn’t the only one who believes the government may have had a hand in his death.
John Potash, the author of The FBI War on Tupac Shakur and Black Leaders, told HipHopDX in 2016: “As savvy and brilliant 2Pac was, he was manipulated by Death Row which was funded by U.S. Intelligence, to promote his most negative lyrics.

“For All Eyez on Me, he promoted weed and alcohol more than his previous albums along with his beef. This, of course, was manufactured by U.S. Intelligence as well. When ‘Pac tried to get away from that and was leaving Death Row records, they had to kill him.”
