The death of Tupac,
or of any person aged only 25, is a sensitive, deeply unfortunate event.
Details of that fateful night vary widely and are sometimes sketchy. Since
Tupac's death remains unsolved, there is no definitive source of information about
these happenings. However, we have documented the case which we believe to
be true.
On September 7th, 1996, following
a short-lived Seldon-Tyson fight in Las Vegas, Tupac Shakur was shot at least
four times by an unknown assailant allegedly driving a white Cadillac.
This car then sped off into the night, leaving Tupac bleeding to death, yet Suge
Knight was barely grazed. Tupac was rushed to University Medical Center and
underwent surgery, including the removal of his right lung. The next few days in
hospital were critical for Tupac, at one point his body was convulsing so badly
that doctors had to induce paralysis, for fear that he could cause internal
damage to himself. Tupac was eventually pronounced dead on Friday, 13th
September, at 4:03pm.

alive. Here, Tupac accompanies Suge Knight in a black BMW shortly after
the boxing match. The pair were headed to Club 662 in Las Vegas.
Apparently, on the night of the
Seldon-Tyson fight, Tupac was scheduled to visit family in Atlanta, but was
persuaded to attend the fight by Suge Knight. This claim caused many people to
implicate Suge as a suspect for "setting up" Tupac's murder. However
Orlando Anderson, a Compton resident who was allegedly a Crip, was held on
suspicion of Tupac's murder, following a series of run-ins with the Death Row
entourage, including one on the fateful night. It was alleged that Anderson's
"crew" came into some money suddenly, following Tupac's death,
arousing suspicions that the money was a payoff for shooting Tuapc. Anderson,
who denied the shooting, and claimed that he was a scapegoat, dies in 1998,
following a dispute at an LA car wash.

Tupac was fatally shot.
As the
whole world mourned his loss, some people actually thought about Tupac's death
and drew up conspiracies that he could be alive due to the sketchy details of
his shooting....We do not endorse these conspiracy theories, yet as we are a
comprehensive website, we have included some of the most interesting theories in
our 'Alive Theories' link.
