The gangster said that one of them shot, but refused to say who exactly, The New York Post reports.



For almost 30 years, the murder of Tupac Shakur was one of the longest unsolved crimes in the music industry, writes The Guardian.

On September 7, 1996, the car in which Tupac Shakir was traveling was shot at. The performer was seriously injured. He was connected to artificial life support and put into an induced coma. The hip-hop artist died on September 13, 1996 from cardiac arrest.



The case remained unsolved because police were unable to find important leads.
