Major twist in rapper Tupac murder investigation
Authorities in Nevada have conducted a search warrant in connection with the unsolved murder of renowned rapper Tupac Shakur, who was tragically killed almost 30 years ago.
Shakur, a prominent figure in hip-hop, was fatally shot during a drive-by incident in Las Vegas on the night of September 7, 1996, at the age of 25.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department executed the search warrant in Henderson on Monday. The specific details of the search, including the target and location, remain undisclosed due to the ongoing investigation, as stated by department spokesperson Aden OcampoGomez.
Tupac Shakur was seated in a black car alongside Marion “Suge” Knight, the head of Death Row Records when the shooting occurred. The incident took place near the Las Vegas Strip, as a white Cadillac pulled up beside them at a red light and opened fire, leaving Shakur severely injured. Despite being rushed to a hospital, Shakur succumbed to his injuries a week later.

No arrests have been made in the case, and the investigation has faced hurdles in the past due to uncooperative witnesses. Notably, Nevada does not have a statute of limitations for prosecuting homicide cases, offering hope for progress in the long-standing investigation.
Recognized as one of the most influential and versatile rappers in history, Tupac Shakur received posthumous honors for his contributions to the music industry. He achieved five No. 1 albums, including the critically acclaimed “Me Against the World” (1995) and “All Eyez on Me” (1996), as well as three posthumous releases. In 2017, he was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and earlier this year, he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Several museum exhibits, such as “Tupac Shakur. Wake Me When I’m Free,” have celebrated his life and legacy.
Despite his relatively brief music career of five years, Shakur secured an impressive 21 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. His notable tracks include “Dear Mama” and “Old School” in 1995, and the iconic “How Do U Want It/California Love” featuring K-Ci and JoJo from his final studio album, “All Eyez on Me,” which spent two weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
According to entertainment data company Luminate, Tupac Shakur has sold 33 million albums and accumulated 41 million equivalent units when including track sales and streaming. Furthermore, his on-demand video and audio streams have reached a remarkable total of 10.1 billion.

AI stocks surge amid market shifts and spending warnings
AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.
AI sector drives economic growth; Meta adjusts strategy, Palantir’s valuation sparks questions, and Nvidia leads amid rising competition.
The artificial intelligence sector continues to be a major driver of growth for both the U.S. and global economies. Companies at the forefront of AI innovation are influencing market trends and reshaping industries worldwide.
Meta’s stock has rebounded slightly following reports of potential cost-cutting measures and job reductions in its Reality Labs division. Investors are watching closely as the company adjusts its strategy to manage rising expenses and optimize innovation.
Palantir is trading at over 120 times forward sales and 180 times forward earnings, signaling investor confidence but also raising questions about valuation risks. Meanwhile, Nvidia maintains a market cap of $4.2 trillion as a leading AI chip supplier, yet competition is ramping up.
These moves highlight the growing tension between tech giants’ AI ambitions and the practical need to balance profits with heavy R&D spending.
Some analysts, however, warn that rapid growth may not be sustainable, with current levels of AI-related spending potentially overshooting realistic returns.

Analysts forecast $500 billion AI investment by 2026, transforming corporate spending priorities and enhancing economic productivity.
Analysts predict that artificial intelligence companies could invest over $500 billion in 2026, signaling a major shift in corporate spending priorities. This surge in capital allocation comes as businesses look to harness AI to drive growth and efficiency across multiple sectors.
Following strong third-quarter earnings, overall capital spending estimates for 2026 have been revised upward. However, investors are becoming more selective, focusing on companies that can clearly demonstrate revenue benefits from their AI investments, separating hype from tangible results.
AI adoption is expected to boost economic productivity, with significant investment already flowing into AI infrastructure such as semiconductors and data centres. The coming year could redefine how companies leverage technology to gain a competitive edge.
