The murder investigation of rapper Tupac Shakur is back in the spotlight as the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department executed a new search warrant.
According to multiple reports, after 30 years of radio silence, Las Vegas Police searched a home in Henderson, Nevada related to Tupac’s 1996 homicide. The location of the home is just 20 miles away from the Las Vegas Strip where Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting when the late rapper was only 25 years old.

Statement from the police department claims: “LVMPD can confirm a search warrant was served in Henderson, Nevada on July 17, 2023, as part of the ongoing Tupac Shakur homicide investigation. We will have no further comment at this time.”
According to ABC News, homicide detectives and prosecutors determined on Monday night that they had enough information to proceed with a court-authorized search. The search was conducted at around 10pm local time, with Las Vegas Metro PD SWAT on hand.
Computers, laptops and articles about Tupac and his death were some of the items sought out for with evidence in the case now being presented to a Las Vegas grand jury. Nevada does not have a statute of limitations for prosecuting homicide cases.
There are many theories as to who was involved in Shakur’s death. Just six months after his death, famous rapper Notorious B.I.G., 24, was murdered in Los Angeles.
Some speculated that the late rapper put a hit on Shakur before his very own passing. Others pinned Tupac’s death on the head of his label, Suge Knight, in what was rumored to be a set up. Neither speculation has been proven.
Other speculations claimed the CIA was involved leading the organization to address the rumors in a tweet: “No, we don’t know where Tupac is.”
