The most notorious murder in rap history: what posthumous mystery Tupac left fans and why his killer was not punished

Exactly 28 years ago, on September 13, American performer Tupac Shakur (2Pac), who was only 25 years old, passed away as a result of a fatal wound. The heart of the celebrity, whose murder is considered the most high-profile in rap history, stopped 6 days after he was shot.

During his short career, the American became one of the most influential and successful artists of all time, but his insane fame cost him his life. Despite the fact that the actor died many years ago, his mysterious case did not leave fans alone. Tupac Shakur's killer has not been punished, and some fans are convinced that their favorite actor staged his death. In honor of the anniversary of the death of the celebrity, OBOZ.UA collected interesting facts about the high-profile murder.

What posthumous mystery Tupac left for fans

On September 7, 1996, the legendary rapper was attacked. The performer attended a boxing match accompanied by his manager. After the event, Tupac Shakur went to a nightclub in the back seat of a BMW car. A few minutes later, a white Cadillac leveled with the vehicle, from the window of which the killer fired four shots, hitting the rapper. On September 13, the artist's heart stopped due to internal bleeding.

The murder of the celebrity is called one of the most high-profile in history, as fans noticed a certain mystery consisting in a special coincidence of numbers. Supporters of the theory "Tupac is alive" found a "message" from the performer: the rapper recorded his posthumous album 7 days before the incident, and on September 7 he was shot in a BMW 7 series car. In addition, the American went into the spotlight exactly 7 months after the release of the album "All Eyez On Me" (All Eyez On Me), the cover of which depicted a crucified Jesus.

Summarizing these facts, and taking into account the fact that nobody saw the body of the celebrity after his death, some fans were convinced: Tupac is alive and hiding in Cuba.

Why the rapper's killer has not been punished

For 22 years, investigators were unable to identify the hip-hop star's killer. The mystery was shattered when in 2018, former gangster Dwain Keith Davis, known as Keef Dee, revealed that the legendary artist was shot and killed by his nephew Orlando Anderson.

Although the mysterious perpetrator was found, he was not punished. This happened because by the time the murder was solved, the gang member was already dead. He died in one of the shootings.
