Police raid home in connection with Tupac's 1996 murder

At this stage it’s not clear who or what the Los Angeles Metropolitan Police Department were looking for

Twenty-seven years after Tupac Shakar was gunned-down in a Las Vegas drive by shooting, police have raided a property in connection with the rapper's unsolved murder.

No arrests or convictions have ever been made in the infamous case, with police claiming uncooperative witnesses were the reason it remained unsolved. Now, Nevada state authorities have reopened the case.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed it had executed a search warrant on Monday on a house in Henderson, a city 15 miles east of the Vegas strip where the shooting took place.

At the time of writing, it’s not clearly understood who or what the LVMPD was looking for, however, it’s worth stating that there is no statute of limitations for murder cases in the state of Nevada. This means that there is no set time limit on filing criminal charges against anyone considered to be involved in the case.

Largely considered one of the most influential and versatile rappers of all time, the six-time Grammy award nominated Shakur has had five No 1 albums: 1995’s Me Against the World, 1996’s All Eyez on Me and three posthumous releases: 1996’s The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, which was recorded under the name Makaveli, as well as 2001’s Until the End of Time and 2004’s Loyal to the Game.

In 2017, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Snoop Dogg.
