LAS VEGAS (AP) — Las Vegas police confirmed Tuesday that they served a search
warrant this week in connection with the long-unsolved killing of Tupac Shakur,
propelling the case back into the spotlight nearly 30 years after his death.

Shakur, one of the most prolific figures in hip-hop, was gunned down the night
of Sept. 7, 1996, in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. He was 25.



No arrests have ever been made. Yet attention on the case, which has seen its
share of conspiracy theories, has endured for decades.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement that the search
was conducted Monday in the nearby city of Henderson, but the agency did not say
whether a suspect has been identified. It's also unclear what they were looking
for and where they were looking.

Citing the ongoing investigation, department spokesperson Aden OcampoGomez said
in a brief phone call that he couldn't provide more details on the latest
development in the case.

Nevada does not have a time limit for prosecuting homicide cases.

Shakur was shot while sitting inside a black BMW with Marion “Suge” Knight, head
of Death Row Records. Police have said the two were waiting at a red light near
the Las Vegas Strip when a white Cadillac pulled up next to them and gunfire
erupted. Shot multiple times, Shakur was rushed to a hospital, where he died six
days later.




Las Vegas police have said in the past that the investigation quickly stalled in
part because witnesses refused to cooperate.



Shakur’s death came amid his feud with rap rival the Notorious B.I.G., who was
fatally shot six months later. At the time, both rappers were in the middle of
the infamous East Coast-West Coast rivalry, which primarily defined the hip-hop
scene during the mid-1990s. The feud was ignited after Shakur was seriously
wounded in another shooting during a robbery in the lobby of a midtown Manhattan
hotel.

Shakur openly accused B.I.G. and Sean “Diddy” Combs of having prior knowledge of
the shooting, which both vehemently denied. It sparked enough of a feud that
created a serious divide within the hip-hop community and fans.

The New York-born Shakur represented the West Coast after he signed with Los
Angeles-based Death Row Records. He often traded verbal jabs in the media and
through songs. B.I.G. and Combs hailed from the East Coast while representing
New York City-based Bad Boy Records.

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.”




His professional music career only lasted five years, but Shakur secured 21
Billboard Hot 100s, including top 10 hits “Dear Mama" and "Old School” in 1995,
and his best-known track, 1996’s “How Do U Want It/California Love” featuring
K-Ci and JoJo. The latter spent two weeks at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot
100 from his final studio album and Death Row Records debut, “All Eyez on Me.”



According to entertainment data company Luminate, Shakur has sold 33 million
albums, 41 million when including track sale and streaming equivalents. The
rapper’s on-demand video and audio streams total 10.1 billion.

In 2017, Shakur was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by Snoop Dogg. In
June of this year, the rapper received a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk
of Fame. He’s also had some museum exhibits that paid homage to his life,
including “Tupac Shakur. Wake Me When I’m Free,” which opened in 2021.

Watch the intense moment a powerful elephant turns on a rhino and her baby that
are taking up space at the local waterhole.



This was filmed by Krishna Tummalapalli, the 64-year-old Interventional
Cardiologist from India. Upon his family visit to the Kruger National Park, he
captured an amazing video of an elephant and rhino interacting on a crazy level!

We asked Krishna to explain to LatestSightings.com what exactly happened, and he
told us the following story:




“We were on a family trip to South Africa in early June 2019. We had been hoping
to visit Africa for quite some time and needless to say, it didn’t disappoint!
We went to the Kruger National Park and on our second day of safari – around 5
in the afternoon – at Shishangeni Lodge, I managed to take this video near the
watering hole.”





“Even without this incredible sighting, it was shaping out to be a very good
Safari. We saw lots of Zebra herds and took a cute video of a rhino taking a mud
bath. There were lots to see even before we got to witness what was probably the
most intense occurrence. We went to the watering hole and were watching two
rhinos drinking water for a bit of time before we spotted two elephants
approaching from the distance. We were curious about what was about to happen
but we never expected them to get into a fight.”




“We were amazed that we could see something like the elephant become aggressive
towards the rhinos. We were also worried for the baby rhino, especially after
the elephant pushed the rhino mom over her own baby! We felt a bit more at ease
once the rhinos started running away with seemingly no injury. Who knew that an
elephant carries such power? As Indian Americans, we were used to Indian
elephants which are not as big as African elephants. We think of rhinos as huge
animals, but the elephant literally pushed the rhino around like it was
nothing!”




“After the rhinos managed to escape some serious injury, the elephant started
facing us and moving in our direction. I don’t know whether it would have
attacked us, but we put some more distance between the safari vehicle and the
aggressive elephant before we could find out. We spoke to our guide and he said
that in the 10 years he had been working as a guide, he has never seen anything
like this. We witnessed a lot of great sightings on our trip to the Park, but
nothing could match this experience.”




—WATCH—



“When you’re in the wild, have your camera ready, because you never know when
something incredible might happen and it can be over in a flash. Don’t get
discouraged if you don’t see much right away because it doesn’t mean that
activity won’t pick up. My advice for those who come all the way from a
different continent – is to do as much safari as possible, because when you get
back home, you’ll definitely miss being able to see these incredible animals out
in the wild every day.”
