Tupac Shakur murder case: Steelers RB Najee Harris once knew details about suspect

On Friday, reports claimed that a man in Las Vegas was arrested in connection with the 1996 drive-by shooting of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur. The news caused a stir on social media with fans and celebrities reacting to the shocking news.

Some also pointed out that Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris once knew about the suspect who killed the iconic rapper.

According to Rivals reporter Rob Cassidy, Harris once informed him that former NFL head coach Jim Mora told him that he knew who shot and killed Tupac. On Jan. 17, 2022, Cassidy tweeted:

"Najee Harris once told me that Jim Mora told him he knew who killed Tupac during a recruiting visit and I’ve never stopped thinking about that."

However, this is no confirmation on whether the man who was arrested on Friday is the same person whom Harris was referring to. Moreover, the Steelers running back hasn't spoken about the incident in public either.
