Tupac Shakur was waiting at a red light near the Las Vegas Strip in September 1996 when the BMW he was travelling in was riddled with bullets.
One of the last living witnesses to the fatal drive-by shooting of American rapper Tupac Shakur was on Friday charged with murder in the 1996 killing, a long-awaited breakthrough in a case that has frustrated investigators and fascinated the public.
“For 27 years the family of Tupac Shakur has been waiting for justice,” Clark County Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at a news conference on Friday. “It has often been said that justice delayed is justice denied,” District Attorney Steve Wolfson said after the hearing.A grand jury has been hearing evidence in the case for several months. On Friday, Clark County District Judge Jerry Wiese denied Davis bail.
After the casino brawl, “Mr.Davis formulated a plan to exact revenge upon Mr Knight and Mr Shakur” in his nephew’s defence, DiGiacomo said. “They offered to let me go for running a ‘criminal enterprise’ and numerous alleged murders for the truth about the Tupac and Biggie murders,” he wrote. “They promised they would shred the indictment and stop the grand jury if I helped them out.”
