Tupac Shakur Assassination

On September 7, 1996, American hip-hop artist Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada. The shooting occurred at 11:15 p.m. Pacific time when the car with Shakur stopped at a red light at East Flamingo Road and Koval Lane.[2] Shakur was struck by four .40 caliber rounds fired from a Glock:[3] two in the chest, one in the arm, and one in the thigh.[4] He died from his wounds six days later from respiratory failure that led to cardiac arrest after the removal of his right lung in the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada. In the 2015 documentary Murder Rap, which discusses Shakur's murder, former LAPD Detective Greg Kading, contends that Orlando Anderson's uncle "Keffe D" officially confirmed that Anderson was the one who shot and killed Shakur. wrote:
