LAS VEGAS (AP) - Las Vegas Metro Police are asking for help from
the public in their search for rapper Tupac Shakur's killer.
Citing a lack of cooperation from Shakur's entourage and the
failure of Shakur's family to offer a sizeable reward in the case,
police said Friday they hope witnesses to the shooting will come
forward.
Shakur was shot following a Sept. 7 boxing match as he sat in a
car with Marion "Suge" Knight, chief executive officer of Death
Row Records at Flamingo and Koval. Shakur died six days later.
Knight suffered a minor gunshot wound.
Police said they have interviewed everyone in Shakur's massive
entourage and have few leads.
"Some of the persons interviewed who were in the entourage the
night of the murder brought attorneys with them during their
interview," Lt. Larry Spinosa said. "As many as three attorneys
at one time showed up to assist a client during a normally
non-intrusive interview."
Police are still looking for a new Cadillac that was seen
heading south on Koval Lane.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at (702)
229-3521 or (702) 385-5555. Callers will be eligible for a $1,000
reward, and all calls will be returned.
