Las Vegas Police Serve Search Warrant in Connection to Unsolved Tupac Shakur Slaying 25 Years Later

Las Vegas police have served a search warrant in connection to the unsolved slaying of rap icon Tupac Shakur, which occurred more than 25 years ago.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) issued a statement on Tuesday confirming that a search warrant was served in Henderson, Nevada, on Monday as part of the ongoing investigation. The search was conducted less than 20 miles from the Las Vegas Strip where Shakur, 25, was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1996.

The statement from the LVMPD said that the search was conducted as part of the ongoing investigation into the murder of the superstar rapper, but that they would have no further comment at this time.

Retired Los Angeles police detective Greg Kading alleged in 2019 that he had solved the case, and that the killing was orchestrated by a rival rap music label. However, no arrests have been made in connection to the case.

Tupac Shakur was a rap icon at the time of his death, and his fame and relevance has only grown since then. His sister, Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur, said last month at a ceremony adding him to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame that “Tupac knew deep down that he was always meant for something great.”

Las Vegas police are continuing their investigation into the murder of Tupac Shakur, and have yet to make any arrests in connection to the case.
