The famous hip-hop artist was shot on September 7, 1996 in Las Vegas and died in hospital six days later from his injuries at the age of 25.
Tupac had attended a boxing match with Suge Knight in Las Vegas the day he was shot. He was riding in a black sedan on Las Vegas Boulevard when a white Cadillac pulled up alongside and opened fire.
No arrests have been made in the case.
Months later, on March 9, 1997, rapper Christopher Wallace, known as the Notorious BIG, was shot and killed in Los Angeles. This shooting is believed to be related to Tupac’s murder and also remains unsolved.
During his short but prolific career, Tupac sold more than 75 million records worldwide, including the diamond-certified album “All Eyez on Me,” which included the hit “California Love (Remix).”
The artist was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.
