Damn, they finally got Will Smith.

Doesn't seem like it's necessarily the shooter specifically, just someone involved in the murder. I'd imagine this case is going to be hard to prove. They don't have the luxury of something concrete like DNA in this case. I'd be stunned if they held onto the gun used in the murder. If that hasn't been disposed of by now these are the dumbest criminals in history. My guess is this is the product of a lot of witness testimony and confessions, which will be heavily scrutinized in court. But time will tell. Need the PCA to be released.

 

[DrFigs]

I think he's been admitting to doing it for the past 10 years or so. you can see him talking about it on youtube interviews.

i'm just seeing a vlad interview now, the guy wrote a book about it, lol

Man, Jada helping uncover Tupac's killer. Some 5D chess here.

 

[EverydayBeast]

2pac was a tragic loss if he’s around today after Kanye’s “I am a god” phase I think he’d be very entertaining.

 

[Kamina]

Huh, and here I thought that Tupac was abducted by aliens just like Elvis and Michael Jackson.

 

[LostDonkey]

We've known it was Keffe D for years. He's admitted it from prison about 50 times. Took them long enough.

 

[Syphon Filter]

They didnt provide details in terms of evidence, also doesnt proof who was the actual shooter.

 

[Big Baller]

Officer Vlad finally caught one.

 

[JimmyF]

And here I thought I killed him all this time.

 

[Kilau]

I can’t wait for when the prosecution calls Tupac’s hologram as a witness.

 

[Chuck Berry]

This is all bullshit. Pac is still around. He's living on an island in the Caribbean with Andy Kaufman. Everyone knows this. How in the hell do you think we've kept on getting records from him over the past 20 years?

[Burning Blade]

I always assumed it was the same peeps that did JFK.

 

[swaffles23]

He's been self snitching about it for years now lol.. poochie is the guy who killed Biggie. They're all dead except now for Keefe

 

[AJUMP23]

I never paid attention to it.

 

[j0hnnix]

P Diddy still gets away.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I have a good friend that worked in the Vegas morgue and saw Tupac Shakur's body.

 

[chromhound]

But Puffy was the one that put a 1 million bounty on Tupac's head...

 

[NecrosaroIII]

But Puffy was the one that put a 1 million bounty on Tupac's head...

He also murdered Biggie.

 

[Chuck Berry]

It comes close, but in a “different” way

 

[Brian Fellows]

Great album. It was like Tupac's Temple of the Dog

Love it. It's my favorite album of his.

 

[Syphon Filter]

He also murdered Biggie.

no, why would he murder his own guy.

 

[SlimySnake]

Dave Chappelle, that aint your wife still cracks me up.

So many young'uns here who were probably in elementary school when this happened thinking they know it all now.

 

[Shenmuefan2000]

Apparently Big Dre killed Tupac

 

[Dirk Benedict]

So many young'uns here who were probably in elementary school when this happened thinking they know it all now.

The first time I saw him was in Nothing But Trouble, but the first time I heard him was... Round and Round, off Digital Underground... shit.. RIP Shock G.
I also caught him a few months later in the movie Juice.

Keefe D has said multiple times he organized the hit and gave the murder weapon to his nephew, Orlando Anderson, to do the actual shooting. Anderson was killed about two years after that in an unrelated gang shooting.

Their motive was (1) Puff Daddy and B.I.G. regularly hired Keefe D and his crew of Crips to act as their west coast security team and one time allegedly offered to pay them $30k for the hit and (2) 2Pac, Suge Knight, and other Blood gang members who were with the Death Row entourage beat up Orlando earlier in the evening, because Orlando and some Crips had beaten up another Death Row Blood gang member a few weeks prior and stolen his diamond Death Row chain. So money, allegedly, and gang retaliation.

All of this has been known for years, but Keefe D was under some sort of immunity due to cooperating with I think federal authorities and LAPD in the B.I.G. investigation. Then he started blabbing his mouth about it online and in a memoir, thus losing his immunity.

A fat arm was out the window so probably him

Finally, someone else knows the history! You can't talk to people who only know about video games man,

 

[SF Kosmo]

Cautious reporting has kind of buried the lede on this story, which is that this guy has told police his crew was hired by Puff Daddy for one million dollars to kill Pac and Suge.

He has basically said he was there with a gun and he would have been the gunman of the car pulled up on the other side of him, but it didn't so another gunman in the back seat did it.

I don't know if the intent here is to try this guy for murder, but more likely roll him up on Diddy.

yea i keep up with this situation but recently keefe actually denied that it was orlando.

 

[Syphon Filter]

You dont know the history apparently since keefe himself denied it in a more recent interview that it was orlando. Also yaki said he said it was a fat arm that he saw shooting so it was probably big dre that did it.
