Who K*lled Tupac Shakur?
Six days after Tupac Shakur was shot four times in the chest by an unknown gunman in a white Cadillac at a stoplight in Las Vegas, he passed away on September 13. According to a Los Angeles Times investigation, the murder investigation could not proceed because of uncooperative witnesses and the lazy pursuit of gang-related leads.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chuck Philips wrote the first section of this inquiry, which included a detailed analysis of who k*lled Shakur. Philips proved that the Compton, California gang Southside Crips committed the murder. The Mob Piru Bloods, with which Shakur was associated, and the Crips frequently clashed over territory and insults.

After being insulted by Crips member Orlando Anderson in the lobby of a Mike Tyson prizefight venue, Shakur and his Bloods security pummeled him. According to Philips, Anderson went to the rest of the group and demanded vengeance after this incident, and they agreed to it.
Also, according to Philips, New York rapper Notorious B.I.G. (real name Christopher Wallace), a competitor of Shakur’s, supplied the pistol and offered to pay the Crips if they k*lled Shakur. Wallace had gotten into such an intense feud with the rapper that he promised to pay the Crips $1 million for his death.
According to Philips, Anderson carried out the hit with Wallace’s.40 caliber Glock pistol. Within two years of Shakur’s passing, Anderson and Wallace had also met their end. Philips’s article relied on statements from several anonymous sources who discussed their involvement in the case with him on the condition of anonymity.
Though lauded for its thoroughness and organization, Philips’s Los Angeles Times investigation has been criticized for using anonymous sources, notably those who accused two people who are now dead and whose accusations have not been verified.
