In July this year, police announced a house search conducted in connection with what for years had seemed like a cold case.
The reports could concern Duane "Keffe D" Davis, who claims to have been in the car from which Tupac was shot that night, and who wrote about his version of events in his memoir, "Compton Street Legend."
Shot in 1996, succumbed to injuries days later
Shakur was wounded in a drive-by shooting on September 7, 1996, and died in a hospital six days later at the age of 25. He was an award-winning rapper, activist and actor who sold more than 75 million records worldwide, many of them posthumously.
Although New York-born, he also signed for the West Coast record company Death Row Records and became the face of their rivalry with the East Coast label Bad Boy Entertainment.
His rivalry with East Coast rapper The Notorious B.I.G. (also known as Biggie Smalls, born Christopher Wallace) was a catalyst in his fame and was even blamed by some for his death. Some six months after Shakur's death, The Notorious B.I.G. was also shot dead.
