Las Vegas, NV — Rap icon Tupac Shakur has died from gunshot wounds sustained in a drive-by shooting on the Las Vegas Strip, authorities confirmed today. Shakur, 25, passed away after days in critical condition following the September attack that stunned fans and the music world. His death is being treated as a homicide, and investigators say the case remains open.
Police are now reviewing newly surfaced video clips believed to be from nearby traffic cameras and casino security systems along the Strip. While officials caution that the footage does not clearly show the shooter, they say it may help reconstruct the moments leading up to the attack, including the movements of vehicles in the area. Excerpts of the clips have circulated widely on television and online, intensifying public scrutiny and speculation.
The shooting occurred after a major boxing match, when Shakur was riding in a car driven by Death Row Records executive Marion “Suge” Knight. A vehicle pulled alongside them at a red light and opened fire before fleeing the scene. Despite extensive efforts, no arrests have been made.
Tributes are pouring in from artists, fans, and public figures worldwide. Shakur’s influence on hip-hop and culture is immeasurable, and his death marks a tragic loss. Authorities urge anyone with information or footage to come forward as the investigation continues
