Tupac Shakur: The story of a rapper ‘always meant for something great’ | US News

The killing of Tupac Shakur was one of hip-hop’s most enduring mysteries.

More than 27 years have passed since the rapper was gunned down near the Las Vegas Strip.

He was a passenger in a black BMW when shots were fired from a Cadillac.

Tupac was struck four times and died six days later at the age of 25.

His fourth solo album All Eyez On Me had just hit the charts, celebrating his outlaw image.

And now, in a significant breakthrough, a man has been charged with the star’s murder – the only one of four suspects who is still alive.

Duane “Keffe D” Davis is not the accused gunman but has been described as the group’s ringleader – who revealed in a 2019 memoir that he provided the gun used in the drive-by shooting.

In the state of Nevada, this is enough to be charged with murder.
