Why did they kill Tupac Shakur?
The investigation was never solved. Some people think Biggie
Smalls (Christopher Wallace) was involved, that was never proven,
nor is there any real evidence to support this claim. What we do
know is that Tupac, Suge Knight, and several members of the Death
Row Records family had an altercation with an L.A. Crip named Baby
Lane (Orlando Anderson). See the below article -
The Tyson vs. Seldon boxing match was held Saturday, September
7, 1996. Tupac and Suge sat up front and Tupac cheered Tyson on as
he had done so many times before. The fight lasted only 109
seconds. While walking through the lobby of the MGM grand after the
fight the entourage noticed Orlando Anderson.
In a prior incident in a Lakewood Mall, Orlando Anderson stole
Travon Lane's Death Row medallion that happened to be a personal
gift from Suge Knight. Tupac stepped up to Orlando and said "You
from the south?" Tupac then punched him in the face knocking him on
the ground, after which Suge and the Deathrow entourage proceeded
to beat him. Rumors surrounding the shooting have Orlando's
Anderson with Jerry Bonds driving the white Cadillac while Dwayne
Keith Davis (Keefee D) was the shooter. An article in Details
magazine stated that Orlando and his brother wanted to start a
studio, but didn't have the resources. Allegedly after the shooting
they came into some money, and the possibility of a pay off for
some role in the shooting is there. Anderson, an alleged crip who
claimd he was not affiliated, also denied the shooting and stated
he was a scapegoat. He was shot 2 years later in an incident
outside a car wash.
