A search warrant served for the murder investigation of late American rapper Tupac Shakur has left the internet skeptical. On July 18, Nevada authorities confirmed that the detectives searched a residence based in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson, almost 30 years later in connection to the gunning down of Shakur.
While speaking to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Jason Johansson said:
“The search warrant that we conducted is in connection with the Tupac Shakur case. It has been a while. It’s a case that’s gone unsolved and hopefully one day we can change that.”
One of the most influential personalities in the world of hip-hop, Shakur was shot four times on September 7, 1996, in Las Vegas by someone in a car when he was just 25. He succumbed to his injuries and died on September 13, 1996.
The house that was investigated is situated less than 20 miles from the scene of the crime. No arrests have been made in the case as Las Vegas police said that witnesses' refusal to cooperate has stalled the investigation in the past. The news of an investigation being carried out again in Tupac Shakur's murder case left the internet skeptical, and one of them remarked:
