On the 29th Anniversary of His Murder, Do We Really Know What Happened to Tupac?

Tupac Shakur's murder has been shrouded in mystery since his death in 1996. Like his contemporary, The Notorious B.I.G. (A.K.A. "Biggie," born Christopher Wallace, who was killed just a few months later), Shakur was murdered in cold blood by an unidentified gunman. Theories have swirled since the incident, which itself triggered further violence as well as threats against rival rappers theorized to have been involved, and these theories have persisted even after the 2023 arrest of Duane "Keefe D." Davis for the murder.
