It wasn\u2019t long after this that Tupac was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting when his car stopped at a red light at East Flamingo Road and Koval Lane. The gunman had shot him twice in the arm, once in the chest, and once in the thigh. He was rushed to the hospital but unfortunately died of his injuries six days later. The rapper\u2019s killer was never caught, although gangster Orlando Anderson has always remained a huge suspect, even though he died in 1998. Two decades after his murder, Tupac remains the most iconic symbol in rap history.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>luciferlaughs: On September 7, 1996, 29-year-old Leonard Jefferson went to &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12749],"tags":[2543,6000,7616,9982,634,113,4199,3668,8288,9338,2544,3061],"class_list":["post-7349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tumblr","tag-2pac","tag-gangster","tag-gangster-rap","tag-gangsters","tag-hip-hop","tag-music","tag-rap","tag-rip","tag-thug","tag-thug-life","tag-tupac-shakur","tag-tupac"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
