View StoryThe crime occurred September 7, 1996. Tupac, 25, had just left a Mike Tyson boxing match at MGM Grand Hotel and Casino. He was sitting in a black BMW with Suge Knight, of Death Row Records, when they were attacked by someone in a white Cadillac.
Tupac was shot four times and spent six days in a hospital before he died.
While his killer has never been found, a 2017 documentary called “Snapped: Notorious” claimed that Tupac indicated he knew the shooter’s identity while on his deathbed.
Shakur is a legend in the music world. ABC News reports he sold more than 75 million records worldwide.
In April, Snoop Dogg stepped out for the premiere of “Dear Mama,” the five-part docuseries that explored the powerful bond between Tupac and his mother, the late Afeni Shakur.
Snoop reflected on what Tupac would be doing today to help change the world. He remarked, “Football leagues, philanthropy work, you know, changing the world, being a politician, being effective, being positive… I think that he would be doing the exact same things I'm doing, times two, because he was way ahead of the game before me, so I'm just doing some of the things that I think that he would be proud of.”
