Tupac Shakur's death
Unsolved for 27 years — then one indictment cracked it open.
Rapper Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later. The case went unsolved for nearly three decades until Las Vegas police indicted former gang figure Duane "Keffe D" Davis for the murder in 2023.
