Unknowable, a paranormal and true crime podcast, did their 14th episode on the murder of Tupac Shakur. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unknowable/id1439947356 Crownofstorms (talk) 20:51, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

The car

According to Internet Movie Cars Database, the car Tupac was shot in was a brand new 1996 BMW 750iL [E38], should we mention the year-make-model of this car on this article to be more specific enough?

Sean Combs

I find it interesting that this article does not mention former LAPD detective and Tupac/Biggie Smalls task force commander Greg Kading's claim that Sean Combs ordered the murder of Tupac Shakur. It isn't even alluded to in the article, whereas allusions to Biggie Smalls involvement--where there is arguably much less evidence--had an entire section dedicated to it. 2600:1700:4DCE:4330:11DF:47A:F66D:4474 (talk) 13:26, 4 June 2023 (UTC)

I would have to agree that discussion of Seans involvement is suspiciously absent from this article, and deserves representation with credible citations per your argument. Jellocube27 (talk) 19:25, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

I think we all would certainly agree, especially since HE DID IT! He put out the damn contract. Colliric (talk) 01:38, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Cleaning up citations

I’m ensuring citations match in-text descriptions for this article, while remaining compliant to Wikipedia’s policies. If an edit is misconstrued as needlessly intrusive or “vandalism” on this protected article, please use this section to verbally contest any points. I don’t feel revert comments will provide explanations for restrictions on this page. Jellocube27 (talk) 22:48, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Stay consistent with "Keffe" and "Keefe" D

I'm genuinely confused as to whether the (now) suspect is Keefe D or Keffe D. Multiple different mentions here and in citations conman33 (. . .talk) 03:22, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

In the "Shooting and aftermath" section, please remove all instances of "(PDT)" after the one at the very start. Once we've established what time zone we're in, there is no need to repeat it. 2001:BB6:47ED:FA58:B0D0:7DEF:821E:56C3 (talk) 16:00, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

The day Tupac was killed isn't September 7th, as described. It was September 13th. RenaultSymbol2010 (talk) 04:44, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

 Already done Reads While in the critical care unit on the afternoon of Friday, September 13, 1996, Shakur died of respiratory failure that led to cardiac arrest after the removal of his right lung.. NotAGenious (talk) 09:32, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

On September 29, 2023, the AP reported that Las Vegas police had arrested a suspect, Duane "Keefe D" Davis, in Shakur's murder. Police had two months previously served a search warrant at his wife’s home in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson. During the grand jury hearing, a South Side Compton Crips gang affiliate testified that it was DeAndrae Smith who was the shooter, not Orlando Anderson. He stated,

When [Davis] passed the firearm to Orlando, Orlando didn't have a clear shot. Big Dre is six-six. At this time he's 370, 400. He's big. And you're not going to be able to lean over a big guy like that and get — I mean, my time of knowing things, doing — you're not going to reach over like that because shells would have been popping all in Big Dre's face and all kind of stuff. He can't bend down or anything, he's too big.

A date for the start of Duane Davis' trial has been set. Please change the sentence above in the article to include information about the trial start date in this manner.

Please remove the passage of the Arrest section from "On September 29, 2023" to "Henderson", because it repeats what is said and cited above. 2601:642:4600:D3B0:85C5:BDAF:2F81:9E72 (talk) 03:00, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
