Tupac Shakur

I have been fascinated with Tupac Shakur's murder for years. Ever since his untimely passing I have been fascinated with his death. There are several theories that come to mind for many of us but I have my own thoughts on what occurred.
There are many new TV shows about his death that have highlighted a few of the theories such as: it was a hit by fellow artists jealous of his success, it was orchestrated by his employer--Suge Knight, it was in retaliation to his talk about east coast/west coast relations, it was in retaliation to the fight that occurred earlier that night at a casino in Vegas before the fight he attended, etc. What are some of your thoughts? Please share!


Here is my take on what occurred:

Tupac was too valuable an asset, yes asset, for Suge to want dead. He was making fists full of money daily with him alive as his top performer so why kill him off, no matter if they disagreed and Pac was about to go out on his own, they would not have parted like this even with Suge's assorted criminal past.
Fellow artists may be jealous however not enough to kill him in public like he was executed.
The east coast/west coast rivalry is a good motive however I do not see anything pointing to how it was orchestrated by either coasts or those representing the coasts mentioned.
I believe he was killed by the young man, or one of his fellow gang member "brothers", after the fight with Orlando (Baby Lane) Anderson in retaliation for fighting him and making him look bad in front of his fellow gang members. I think he was hell bent on making Pac pay for the embarrassment and in subsequent interviews with Anderson you can see his dishonesty by his shifting eyes, posture, laughing at inappropriate times during questioning, etc. Video of his interviews have been analyzed by profilers and voice analyst persons in which they concur with my beliefs about his guilt. Unfortunately nothing will ever come of the conviction of Anderson as he was killed in a shootout in Compton in 1998 before justice could be served. Part of the reason why he was never officially charged is because snitches around gangs do not live long and the few witnesses willing to speak to detectives have either died, clammed up, or provided non essential information. I believe his and Biggie's murders will never be solved officially because those that murdered them are either incarcerated currently, are dead, or have intimidated too many no to say anything about the crimes.
It is very sad that so much amazing talent is gone before their time due to the actions of a few. Tupac's mother, Afeni, stated for years that his death would not be solved and that her son was not involved in the gang atmosphere but in the peripheral outskirts. I agree that his death will never be officially solved. :(
