Since the perpetrators were never caught, this will never be known for sure. But Tupac had heavy involvment in the East vs. West Coast feud. THis is most likely why he was shot. Tupac was the most key figure for representation of the West Coast.

Tupac also had alleged gang involvment with the gang the Bloods, an this is also a possibility for why Tupac was shot.

Hopefully this should explain.


The second shooting: On September 7, 1996, Shakur attended the Mike Tyson-Bruce Seldon boxing match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV. After the boxing match, Shakur fought with 21 year-old Orlando "Baby Lane" Anderson, a reputed member of the Southside Crips, in the MGM Grand lobby. Anderson had allegedly beaten up one of Shakur's bodyguards in a shopping mall a few weeks earlier, precipitating Shakur's attack.

After the fight with Anderson, Shakur met up with Suge Knight to go to Death Row-owned Club 662 (now known as restaurant/club Seven). Shakur rode with Knight in Knight's 1996 black BMW 750i sedan (Images 1, Image 2), as part of a larger convoy of cars including some of Shakur's friends, tha Outlawz, and bodyguards.

At 11:15 P.M., while stopped at the intersection of East Flamingo Road and Koval Lane, Shakur was shot in a drive-by shooting. Shakur was hit four times, twice in the chest, and once each in his arm and thigh, while Knight was scratched by a piece of flying glass.

After arriving on the scene, police and paramedics took Shakur and Knight to the University Medical Center. Shakur was placed on life support until his death six days later, on Friday, September 13, 1996 at 4:03 PM. The official cause of death was respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. After his death, Shakur's body was cremated. Family and friends reportedly spread his ashes over the Pacific Ocean near Los Angeles, CA.

First, Kanye West was jealous that he was so good so he planned to shoot him at New York City. He shot him five times but 2pac was good enough to Dodge all of them. Then the next day Kanye decided to go to Los Angeles and shot 2pac four times. That is how 2pac died.

DID Biggie murdered Tupac Shakur?

When 2pac got shot the first time. 2pac thought that biggie shot him because of his song "Who shot ya." Which came out in 1994 and 2pac was shot in 1995 for the first time. 2pac Released the single "Hit 'Em Up" and After that single shortly after 2pac got shot and died and everyone thought Biggie killed 2pac and in 1996 biggie died because someone thought biggie killed 2pac. So the answerer is no. I think he did because 2pac slept with his wife and made a song about it. 2pacs people went after Bigge for killing 2pac
