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.

Greenland’s PM chooses Denmark over U.S. amid Trump’s controversy over Arctic control, emphasizing sovereignty and local sentiment.
Greenland’s PM chooses Denmark over U.S. amid Trump’s controversy over Arctic control, emphasizing sovereignty and local sentiment.
Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens‑Frederik Nielsen has delivered a clear message amid renewed pressure from the U.S. — if forced to choose between the United States and Denmark, Greenland will pick Denmark, NATO, and the EU.
Nielsen made the declaration in Copenhagen alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen ahead of diplomatic talks with top U.S. officials.
The announcement comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has again stoked controversy by suggesting Washington could pursue ownership or control of Greenland, citing strategic interests in the Arctic. European leaders and Greenlandic officials have pushed back strongly against these ideas, emphasising sovereignty and respect for international law.
This standoff places Greenland’s future in the spotlight — as Copenhagen and Nuuk reaffirm their ties, local sentiment remains overwhelmingly opposed to U.S. annexation and supportive of Greenland’s own path forward.
