Las Vegas, Nevada. Some describe Las Vegas as the place where dreams are made and where dreams are crushed. To say the least, this American city is unique. From the grand casinos to the fake Statue of Liberty on the Las Vegas strip, there is no city like it in the entire world. That is undebatable.

The great city of Las Vegas also has much history. One piece of this history is the murder of rap icon, Tupac Shakur.

Before we get into the case, let get to know the man himself.

Tupac was, to say the least, one of the greatest rappers and musicians in American history. To date, he has sold over 75 million albums.

In his short career, Tupac became one of the most, if not the most, notable face of the “gangsta-rap” aesthetic that embodied the 90s. Tupac, also, managed to fight for the equality of all people in his music and helped bring to light the struggles faced by African Americans throughout history. Many people today see Tupac as a hero.

Now that we know who Tupac Shakur was, let us get into his tragic murder.
