Nearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was gunned down in Las Vegas, a new lawsuit claims his killing was part of a broader plot that still hasn't been fully exposed. Lawyers for his stepbrother, Maurice Shakur, have filed a wrongful death suit in Los Angeles alleging a "complex conspiracy" behind the 1996 shooting, seeking damages and accountability from people they say have avoided scrutiny for decades, per Rolling Stone.
The complaint leans on recent grand jury testimony tied to the 2023 arrest of Duane "Keefe D" Davis, now charged with Tupac's murder, and on the Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, which features a police interview in which Davis alleges Sean "Diddy" Combs offered him $1 million to kill Tupac—an accusation Combs has strongly denied. The suit lists Davis along with 99 unnamed alleged co-conspirators "who may have participated in or facilitated the murder." It seeks to identify the "extent of each individual's involvement—and the identities of additional individuals" who may have been involved, per the Guardian.
Davis is set to be tried for Tupac's murder in August. He has pleaded not guilty. In his own 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend, the former gang leader admitted being in the car from which shots were fired at Tupac as his convoy waited at a red light near the Las Vegas strip on the evening of Sept. 7, 1996. He alleged that Tupac pulled out a gun, and "one of my guys from the back seat grabbed the Glock and started bustin' back."
