At just 25 years old, Shakur was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas on Sept. 13, 1996. In 2017, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Hailed as one of the greatest artists in Hip Hop history, Shakur sold more than 75 million records worldwide with several multi-platinum LPs, including Me Against the World, All Eyez On Me, The Don Killuminati: The 7-Day Theory, and several others.
As an actor, he appeared in classic films such as Juice, Poetic Justice, Above the Rim, and many more.
Proving his lasting influence, a street was named after the rapper in the city of Oakland in May 2023.
In light of the search warrant for Shakur’s case, the Los Angeles Police Department said Tuesday there is no update on The Notorious B.I.G. who was killed on March 9, 1997.
